In European countries the following final/intermediate host assemblages of Echinococcus granulosus are known to occur: (a) dog/sheep; (b) dog/horse; (c) dog/cattle; (d) dog/pig, (e) dog/reindeer (= "northern form" of E. granulosus). The parasites involved in cycles a-d have been identified as distinct strains in various countries. Epidemiological aspects relevant to intraspecific variations and strain characteristics are described. In E. multilocularis there are some indications for intraspecific variability but it is yet unknown whether or not they are of epidemiological or other significance. There is clear evidence that E. multilocularis, the dog/sheep strain and the "northern form" of E. granulosus are infective for humans; the status of the other strains regarding infectivity to man is still unclear.
在欧洲国家，已知细粒棘球绦虫有以下终末宿主/中间宿主组合：(a) 狗/羊；(b) 狗/马；(c) 狗/牛；(d) 狗/猪；(e) 狗/驯鹿（=细粒棘球绦虫的“北方型”）。在不同国家，参与循环a - d的寄生虫已被鉴定为不同的菌株。描述了与种内变异和菌株特征相关的流行病学方面。在多房棘球绦虫中，有一些种内变异性的迹象，但它们是否具有流行病学意义或其他意义尚不清楚。有明确证据表明，多房棘球绦虫、细粒棘球绦虫的狗/羊菌株和“北方型”对人类具有感染性；其他菌株对人类的感染性状况仍不清楚。
