The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Poland. Overall, 1,546 intestinal samples from 15 of the 16 provinces in Poland were examined by the sedimentation and counting technique (SCT). The mean prevalence of E. multilocularis in Poland was 16.5% and was found in 14 of the 15 examined provinces. The mean intensity of infection was 2,807 tapeworms per intestine. Distinct differences in prevalence were observed between regions. In some provinces of eastern and southern Poland, the level of prevalence was 50.0% (Warmińsko-Mazurskie), 47.2% (Podkarpackie), 30.4% (Podlaskie) and 28.6% (Małopolskie), while in other provinces (west and south-west), only a few percent was found: 2.0% (Dolnośląskie), 2.5% (Wielkopolskie) and 0.0% (in Opolskie). The border between areas with higher and lower prevalence seems to coincide with a north-south line running through the middle of Poland, with prevalence from 17.5 to 50.0% in the eastern half and from 0.0 to 11.8% in the western half. The dynamic situation observed in the prevalence of this tapeworm indicated the necessity of continuing to monitor the situation concerning E. multilocularis in red foxes in Poland.
本研究旨在确定波兰赤狐（Vulpes vulpes）中细粒棘球绦虫（Echinococcus multilocularis）的流行情况。总体而言，波兰 16 个省中的 15 个省通过沉淀计数技术（SCT）检查了 1546 份肠道样本。波兰细粒棘球绦虫的平均流行率为 16.5%，在检查的 14 个省中均有发现。平均每条肠道感染强度为 2807 条绦虫。不同地区的流行率存在明显差异。在波兰东部和南部的一些省份，流行率为 50.0%（瓦尔米亚-马祖里省）、47.2%（波德拉谢省）、30.4%（波美拉尼亚省）和 28.6%（小波兰省），而在其他省份（西部和西南部），只有少数几个百分点：2.0%（下西里西亚省）、2.5%（大波兰省）和 0.0%（奥波莱省）。高流行率和低流行率地区之间的边界似乎与一条南北线相吻合，该线穿过波兰中部，东部流行率为 17.5%至 50.0%，西部流行率为 0.0%至 11.8%。这种绦虫流行率的动态情况表明，有必要继续监测波兰赤狐中细粒棘球绦虫的情况。
