However, since that year, five cases of alveolar echinococcosis have been diagnosed in dogs that resided at the western end of Lake Ontario. In addition, <jats:italic>E.\u00a0multilocularis<\/jats:italic> has been shown to be a common infection in wild canids (i.e. coyotes and foxes) across southern Ontario with a high\u2010risk infection cluster in the area surrounding the western shores of Lake Ontario and northern shores of Lake Erie. In regions endemic for <jats:italic>E.\u00a0multilocularis<\/jats:italic>, dog ownership is considered a risk factor for human alveolar echinococcosis. A study was therefore carried out to determine the prevalence of <jats:italic>E.\u00a0multilocularis<\/jats:italic> intestinal infections in dogs within the high\u2010risk infection cluster. From May to November 2018, faecal samples were collected from 477 dogs aged \u22656\u00a0months that visited 12 off\u2010leash dog parks in the Halton, Hamilton and Niagara public health units. Faecal samples were analysed via a magnetic capture probe DNA extraction and real\u2010time PCR method for <jats:italic>E.\u00a0multilocularis<\/jats:italic> DNA. Overall, 0% (97.5% CI: 0%\u20130.80%) of samples tested positive. This result informs preventive recommendations for <jats:italic>E.\u00a0multilocularis<\/jats:italic> infections in dogs in this region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12792","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,18]],"date-time":"2020-12-18T15:06:08Z","timestamp":1608303968000},"page":"533-537","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Evaluation of the prevalence of <i>Echinococcus multilocularis<\/i> in dogs that visit off\u2010leash dog parks in southern Ontario, Canada"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"68","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6424-3947","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonathon D.","family":"Kotwa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiology Ontario Veterinary College University of Guelph  Guelph ON Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tyler","family":"Greer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiology Ontario Veterinary College University of Guelph  Guelph ON Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claire M.","family":"Jardine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiology Ontario Veterinary College University of Guelph  Guelph ON Canada"},{"name":"Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative  Guelph ON Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1896-1937","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.
