Drivers of Echinococcus multilocularis transmission in China: small mammal diversity, landscape or climate?
<h4>Background</h4>Human alveolar echinococcocosis (AE) is a highly pathogenic zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of the cestode E. multilocularis. Its life-cycle includes more than 40 species of small mammal intermediate hosts. Therefore, host biodiversity losses could be expec...
