Fig. 1 in Unexpected Echinococcus multilocularis infections in shepherd dogs and wolves in south-western Italian Alps: A new endemic area?

Fig. 1. Locations of wolf (blue dots) and dog (orange dots) fecal samples positive to Echinococcus multilocularis collected during a survey on Echinococcus spp. carried out from June to November 2017 in a mountainous area in the Alps of the Imperia Province, Italy. In the map are also reported the southernmost reports of Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) to date in Europe (France, Drs. Boué and Umhang, pers. communication; North-Eastern Italian Alps, Croatia, as in (Beck et al., 2018)). Two dog fecal samples were collected from the same pasture and are represented by a single dot (noted as 2×).
