通过粪抗原反应性、粪便带虫卵和虫卵DNA检测，对1997年至2007年日本宠物犬的多房棘球绦虫感染进行了调查。在北海道，唯一一个E.多房棘球蚴病是日本的地方病，4768只犬中有18只（0.4%）排出带绦虫卵，E.聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测多房菌DNA。大多数鸡蛋DNA检测呈阳性的狗都是自由放养的，但有三只狗被关在主人家里。此外，根据粪抗原检测结果，15只犬疑似感染。一只从北海道运到日本本州岛的狗，排泄的带虫卵对E.多室真核细胞DNA。这些结果表明，适当的宠物管理在疾病预防中的重要性，即使对于关在室内的狗也是如此，并且它们指出了一种可能的方法，通过运输受感染的狗，寄生虫可能会被引入非流行地区。
A survey of Echinococcus multilocularis infections in pet dogs in Japan from 1997 to 2007 was conducted by testing for coproantigen reactivity, fecal taeniid eggs, and egg DNA. In Hokkaido, the only island where E. multilocularis is endemic in Japan, 18 of 4768 dogs (0.4%) excreted taeniid eggs that were positive for E. multilocularis DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Most of the dogs testing positive for egg DNA were kept free-range, but three dogs had been kept inside their owners' houses. In addition, 15 dogs were suspected to be infected based on the results of a coproantigen test. One dog, which was transported from Hokkaido to Honshu, the main island of Japan, was excreting taeniid eggs that were positive for E. multilocularis DNA by PCR. These results suggest the importance of proper pet management in disease prevention, even for dogs kept indoors, and they point out a possible means by which the parasite may be introduced into non-endemic areas through transport of infected dogs.
