The grey wolf <i>(Canis lupus)</i> as a host of <i>Echinococcus multilocularis, E. granulosus s.l</i> . and other helminths – a new zoonotic threat in Poland
The study showed the presence of <i>E. multilocularis</i> in wolves for the first time in Poland and confirmed our earlier observations on <i>E. ortleppi</i>. This double threat from <i>Echinococcus</i> in this wolf population should be taken into account when assessing the epidemiological risk. The study enriched the knowledge of other helminths found in wolves, also those (<i>Euryhelmis</i>) that were recorded for the first time in this species.
