Two species of interest in North America are Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus canadensis (Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato). The primary wildlife definitive hosts for E. multilocularis and E. canadensis are similar, including red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), coyotes (Canis latrans), and wolves (Canis lupus). These two Echinococcus spp. use different intermediate hosts, including small mammals for E. multilocularis and artiodactylids for E. canadensis. Although historically absent from much of the eastern US, recent reports in new US states (e.g., Virginia, Vermont, Maine, Missouri) highlight the need for Echinococcus spp. surveillance in this region. During 2019\u20132020, 308 gastrointestinal tracts were collected from wild canids in Pennsylvania and microscopically screened for adult Echinococcus species. Two coyotes (2\/155) were co-infected with both E. multilocularis and E. canadensis as determined by molecular confirmation. No red foxes (n=137) or gray foxes (n=16) were positive. These data indicate both Echinococcus species are present in Pennsylvanian coyotes, highlighting the need to better understand the ecological and epidemiological consequences for human and animal health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7589\/jwd-d-22-00042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,1]],"date-time":"2023-06-01T00:33:50Z","timestamp":1685579630000},"page":"332-336","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Echinococcus Species Infections among Wild Canids in Pennsylvania, USA"],"prefix":"10.7589","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Kayla","family":"Garrett","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, 589 D.W.
