Anthelmintic Baiting of Foxes against Echinococcus multilocularis in Small Public Area, Japan.

ABSTRACT: We distributed anthelmintic baits on a university campus in Japan inhabited by foxes infected with Echinococcus multilocularis to design an effective baiting protocol for small public areas. High-density baiting can reduce the risk for human exposure to the parasite to near zero. However, monthly baiting is recommended to maintain this effect.
