A national necropsy survey of red foxes was carried out across Great Britain to record Echinococcus, Trichinella and Toxoplasma. The survey did not record directly, or indirectly using coproantigen/PCR tests, evidence for the presence of Echinococcus multilocularis in 588 animals, although E. granulosus was suspected in six animals. Parasitological evidence for Trichinella spp. could not be found in 587 fox muscle digests, and a specific PCR test also failed to detect Toxoplasma in a sub-set of 61 random fox tongue biopsies. The upper 95% confidence interval for the above parasites was 0.60% (E. multilocularis), 0.60% (Trichinella spp.) and 5.6% (Toxoplasma). The commonest gut parasites were the hookworm Uncinaria stenocephala (41.3%) and the ascarid Toxocara canis (61.6%). This study also reports the second occurrence of Trichuris vulpis in Great Britain.
在英国各地对赤狐进行了一项全国性尸检调查，以记录棘球绦虫、旋毛虫和弓形虫的情况。该调查未直接记录，也未通过粪便抗原/聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测间接记录588只动物体内存在多房棘球绦虫的证据，不过有6只动物疑似感染细粒棘球绦虫。在587份狐狸肌肉消化物中未发现旋毛虫属的寄生虫学证据，并且一项特定的PCR检测也未能在61份随机抽取的狐狸舌活检样本中检测到弓形虫。上述寄生虫的95%置信区间上限分别为：多房棘球绦虫0.60%、旋毛虫属0.60%、弓形虫5.6%。最常见的肠道寄生虫是窄头钩虫（41.3%）和犬弓首蛔虫（61.6%）。本研究还报告了英国第二次发现狐鞭虫。
