Echinococcus multilocularis has been spreading through Europe but has not yet been reported in Croatia. We report the results of a surveillance programme to detect E. multilocularis in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in different parts of Croatia. PCR-based screening of faecal samples from 238 red foxes in 2015 and 150 in 2016 indicate prevalences of 7.5% in 2015 and 6.6% in 2016 (overall 7.2%, CI 4.9 to 10.3). Positive samples were confirmed by sequencing parts of the nad1 gene and the gene encoding mitochondrial 12S rRNA. Geographic locations of all examined and positive cases were mapped to provide data on the distribution of E. multilocularis. Our results provide the first detection of E. multilocularis in Croatia and extend the southern boundary of this parasite's endemic area.
多房棘球绦虫已在欧洲传播，但克罗地亚尚未有相关报道。我们报告了一项监测计划的结果，该计划旨在检测克罗地亚不同地区赤狐（赤狐属）体内的多房棘球绦虫。对2015年238只和2016年150只赤狐的粪便样本进行基于聚合酶链反应（PCR）的筛查，结果显示2015年患病率为7.5%，2016年为6.6%（总体患病率7.2%，置信区间4.9%至10.3%）。通过对烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸（NAD）1基因部分片段和编码线粒体12S核糖体核糖核酸（rRNA）的基因进行测序，对阳性样本进行了确认。绘制了所有检测病例和阳性病例的地理位置图，以提供多房棘球绦虫分布的数据。我们的结果首次在克罗地亚检测到多房棘球绦虫，并扩展了该寄生虫流行区的南部边界。
