To investigate the prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus in wild dogs (dingos and dingo-domestic dog hybrids) living in and around human habitation on Fraser Island and in townships of the Maroochy Shire, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, Australia.
Wild dogs were humanely killed on Fraser Island and in the Maroochy Shire because they were deemed a potential danger to the public. Their intestines were collected and the contents examined for intestinal parasites.
Intestines were removed as soon after death as possible, packed in plastic bags and kept frozen until examination. The intestinal contents were washed, sieved and examined microscopically for the presence of helminths, which were identified and counted.
Intestines from 108 wild dogs, 7 foxes and 18 Fraser Island dingoes were examined. Echinococcus granulosus was only present in the wild dogs from Maroochy Shire (46.3%) with worm burdens of between 30 and 104,000. Other helminths included Spirometra erinacei, Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp., Ancylostoma caninum and Toxocara canis. Two specimens of a trematode (Haplorchinae sp.) usually found infecting fish and seabirds were recovered from a Fraser Island dingo.
Dingoes on Fraser Island are not infected with E. granulosus and do not pose a hydatid disease public health risk to residents or visitors. However, wild dogs examined from the Maroochy Shire do present a potential hydatid disease public health risk.
调查生活在澳大利亚昆士兰阳光海岸弗雷泽岛及马鲁奇郡各城镇人类居住地及其周边的野生犬（澳洲野犬及澳洲野犬与家犬的杂交后代）中细粒棘球绦虫的感染率。
由于被认为对公众构成潜在危险，弗雷泽岛及马鲁奇郡的野生犬被实施安乐死。收集其肠道并检查内容物中的肠道寄生虫。
死后尽快取出肠道，装入塑料袋并冷冻保存直至检查。清洗肠道内容物，过筛并在显微镜下检查是否存在蠕虫，对其进行鉴定和计数。
检查了108只野生犬、7只狐狸及18只弗雷泽岛澳洲野犬的肠道。细粒棘球绦虫仅存在于马鲁奇郡的野生犬中（46.3%），虫负荷在30至104,000之间。其他蠕虫包括猬迭宫绦虫、犬复孔绦虫、带绦虫属、犬钩口线虫和犬弓首蛔虫。从一只弗雷泽岛澳洲野犬体内发现了两个通常感染鱼类和海鸟的吸虫（单孔亚科吸虫属）标本。
弗雷泽岛的澳洲野犬未感染细粒棘球绦虫，不会对居民或游客构成包虫病公共卫生风险。然而，从马鲁奇郡检查的野生犬确实存在包虫病公共卫生潜在风险。
