文摘

We molecularly confirmed Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (s.s.) in the critically endangered antelope, Addax nasomaculatus in Tunisia. It is unlikely that hydatid infection of A. nasomaculatus will form a major contribution to the epidemiology and transmission of E. granulosus in Tunisia. A. nasomaculatus hydatid infection may play a role in the perpetuation of the parasite in wildlife cycles and may result in pathology, morbidity and early mortality in this endangered species.
