Abstract
AbstractThe intestines of 20 grey Peruvian foxes (Pseudalopex culpaeus) were examined for the presence ofEchinococcus granulosusand other intestinal parasites.Echinococcus granulosuswas not found in foxes butTaenia hydatigenaandT. multicepswere found in 7 and 4 animals respectively. The grey fox may not be a suitable definitive host forE. granulosus. However, it may act as a sylvatic reservoir ofT. hydatigenaandT. multicepsin the central Peruvian Andes.
