2013年9月至2017年4月，在日本寄生虫流行的北海道市区（札幌市），使用粪DNA和粪便虫卵检查对156只收容犬进行了多房棘球绦虫感染监测。结果提示，市区流浪狗或自由活动的流浪狗可能通过捕捉含寄生虫包囊的野鼠而被感染，并可能成为人感染的一个传染源。犬传人是一个重大问题，即使在北海道的城市地区也存在这种传播的风险。我们建议在1个月内驱虫（例如，在棘球蚴病流行区捕获自由活动或流浪的狗，以防止潜在的人类感染。
Surveillance ofEchinococcus multilocularisinfection among 156 shelter dogs was conducted in an urban area (Sapporo city) in Hokkaido, where the parasite is endemic in Japan using copro-DNA and fecal egg examination from September 2013 to April 2017.Echinococcusinfection was detected in three dogs (1.9%), including one dog that excreted eggs. The results suggested that free-roaming or stray dogs in urban area may be infected by capturing wild voles containing parasitic cysts and could be a source of human infection. Dog-to-human transmission is a significant concern, and the risk of such transmission is present even in urban areas in Hokkaido. We recommend deworming within 1 month (e.g., before egg excretion) of capture for free-roaming or stray dogs inEchinococcus-endemic area to prevent potential human infection.
