Infection with the cyclophyllidean tapeworm Mesocestoides sp. is recorded in British wild red foxes (Vulpes vulpes cr-cigera) from Scotland and South East England. Previously, the occurence of this parasite in Great Britain has been rarely reported, but the results of the present study indicate that vulpine infection may be common.
在来自苏格兰和英格兰东南部的英国野生赤狐(Vulpes vulpes cr-cigera)中发现感染了圆叶目绦虫中殖孔绦虫属(Mesocestoides sp.)。此前,这种寄生虫在英国的出现情况鲜有报道,但本研究结果表明,狐狸感染可能很常见。
