Ecology and epidemiology of Echinococcus multilocularis and human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) are changing in Central Europe. Our data from a regional referral center for AE in southwest Germany suggest rising regional incidence for AE (annual incidence per 100,000 population 2004-2011: 0.12; 2012-2019: 0.20) and emerging urban AE (of 7 cases of AE in Freiburg city dwellers none was diagnosed before 2012) calling for an intensification of E. multilocularis and AE surveillance and of AE prevention measures.
多房棘球绦虫和人类泡型包虫病(AE)的生态学和流行病学在中欧正在发生变化。我们在德国西南部的一个 AE 区域转诊中心的数据表明,AE 的区域发病率正在上升(2004-2011 年每 10 万人的年发病率为 0.12;2012-2019 年为 0.20),并且出现了城市型 AE(在弗赖堡市的 7 例 AE 患者中,没有一例在 2012 年之前被诊断出),这呼吁加强多房棘球绦虫和 AE 的监测以及 AE 的预防措施。
