Very few information about alveolar echinococcosis in China is available outside the country. The aim of the authors is to give some precisions about the human cases and the infection in the natural animal hosts. It occurs in 3 distinct foci which comprise poor and remote rural areas. Approximately, 420 cases of human disease have been detected, and the most intense focus is Ningxia province in central China. In all areas, the adult tapeworm is frequently found in V. vulpes, V. corsac, and in the domestic dog. The intermediate hosts differ from an area to the others. Their infection rate is high in the central and the northern foci. More researches are needed for improving our knowledge about the epidemiology of the disease. But the actual major requirement is to apply control measures as health education and medical information.
国外关于中国肺泡型棘球蚴病的信息非常少。作者的目的是提供一些关于人类病例以及自然动物宿主感染情况的详细信息。该病发生在3个不同的疫源地，这些疫源地包括贫困和偏远的农村地区。大约已检测到420例人类病例，最严重的疫源地位于中国中部的宁夏回族自治区。在所有地区，成虫绦虫常见于赤狐、沙狐和家犬体内。中间宿主因地区而异。它们在中部和北部疫源地的感染率很高。需要开展更多研究以增进我们对该疾病流行病学的了解。但目前的主要需求是实施如健康教育和医疗信息等防控措施。
