Abstract: Introduction: Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most widespread zoonosis of veterinary and medical importance still constituting a sanitary, economic and socio-cultural problem in Italy. Methodology: The aim of this study was to update epidemiological data on cattle CE in Italy. Data on CE positivity of 5,336 cattle were acquired from abattoir registers between January 2009 and July 2010.

“…Recently, from the Apennine regions of northern Italy, E. granulosus s.s. G1 and G3 were identified in wolf populations ( Canis lupus italicus ) with a prevalence of 5.6% (Gori et al, 2015) and 5.5% (Poglayen et al, 2017) respectively, emphasizing the importance of wild species as possible indicators for CE environmental spreading.…”
