We studied dog spatial behaviour in 4 Tibetan villages in order to determine the role of dogs in environmental contamination and their potential interactions with small mammal intermediate hosts. We identified definitive host species and<jats:italic>Echinococcus<\/jats:italic>spp. infection status of feces collected in the field by PCR methods and analysed the spatial distribution of canid feces. Nocturnal space utilization of GPS collared dogs in and around villages was also undertaken.<jats:italic>E. multilocularis<\/jats:italic>DNA was amplified in 23% of dog feces (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=142) and in 15% of fox feces (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=13) but this difference was not significant. However, dog feces were more frequently observed (78% of collected feces) than fox feces and are therefore assumed to largely contribute to human environment contamination. Feces were mainly distributed around houses of dog owners (0\u2013200 m) where collared dogs spent the majority of their time. Inside villages, the contamination was aggregated in some micro-foci where groups of dogs defecated preferentially. Finally, small mammal densities increased from the dog core areas to grasslands at the periphery of villages occasionally used by dogs; male dogs moving significantly farther than females. This study constitutes a first attempt to quantify in a spatially explicit way the role of dogs in<jats:italic>E. multilocularis<\/jats:italic>peri-domestic cycles and to identify behavioural parameters required to model<jats:italic>E. multilocularis<\/jats:italic>transmission in this region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182011000874","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,22]],"date-time":"2011-08-22T10:21:52Z","timestamp":1314008512000},"page":"1316-1329","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":82,"title":["Role of dog behaviour and environmental fecal contamination in transmission of<i>Echinococcus multilocularis<\/i>in Tibetan communities"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"138","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"VANISCOTTE","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"RAOUL","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
