In Central Europe, classical alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is endemic. Annual incidences in Austria were 2.4 and 2.8 cases/100,000 population during 1991-2000 and 2001-2010, respectively. Hence, the registration of 13 new AE patients in 2011 was unexpected. Increasing fox populations and past AE underreporting might have caused this increase.
在中欧,经典型细粒棘球蚴病(AE)流行。1991-2000 年和 2001-2010 年期间,奥地利的年发病率分别为 2.4 和 2.8 例/10 万人口。因此,2011 年登记的 13 例新的 AE 患者出乎意料。可能是由于狐狸数量的增加和过去 AE 的漏报导致了这种增加。
