Increase in number of helminth species from Dutch red foxes over a 35-year period
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is host to a community of zoonotic and other helminth species. Tracking their community structure and dynamics over decades is one way to monitor the long term risk of parasitic infectious diseases relevant to public and veterinary health. METHODS: We identified 17 helminth species from 136 foxes by mucosal scraping, centrifugal sedimentation/flotation and the washing and sieving technique. We applied rarefaction analysis to our samples and compared the resulting curve to the helminth community reported in literature 35 years ago. RESULTS: Fox helminth species significantly increased in number in the last 35 years (p-value <0.025). Toxascaris leonina, Mesocestoides litteratus, Trichuris vulpis and Angiostrongylus vasorum are four new veterinary-relevant species. The zoonotic fox tapeworm (E. multilocularis) was found outside the previously described endemic regions in the Netherlands. CONCLUSIONS: Helminth fauna in Dutch red foxes increased in biodiversity over the last three decades.

Free-living red foxes are generally infected with more than one species of intestinal helminths, most often three or four coinfecting parasites.
“It must be stressed that free-living red foxes are generally infected with more than one species of intestinal helminths, most often three or four coinfecting parasites [1,14,23].”
From Distribution of Parasitic Helminths in the Small Intestine of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) (2020) · cites this paper as [1]
The Results section, “Multiple infections per fox” (page unavailable), reports frequent coinfection among the Dutch foxes studied. But three to four coinfections is the peak reported for males; younger females peak at two to three. The count also covers helminth species generally, not only intestinal helminths, so it does not establish three or four intestinal species as the usual pattern for free-living red foxes generally. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe analysis of all Taenia tapeworms together without distinguishing species makes it hard to conclude definitely about regional differences.
“It is hard to conclude definitely because we analyzed all tapeworms from Taenia genus together without distinguishing species (e.g., T. crassiceps, T. pisiformis, T. polyacantha, T. hydatigena, and T. taeniaeformis) [1,8,16] which have different lifecycles with various intermediate hosts.”
From Distribution of Parasitic Helminths in the Small Intestine of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) (2020) · cites this paper as [1]
The Results (Molecular characterisation of intestinal parasites) distinguish T. crassiceps from T. polyacantha, and Table 1 lists intermediate hosts for T. crassiceps. The paper does not say that pooling Taenia species makes regional differences hard to assess, nor does the cited evidence establish the differing lifecycles of all five species listed. The statement that tapeworms were pooled describes the citing authors’ own analysis, not this source’s. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe vast majority of hookworms detected in the study belonged to Uncinaria stenocephala.
“In our investigation, species of these helminths were not identified, but previous studies carried out in Poland [20,31,41,42] and Europe [1,17,18,19] may suggest that the vast majority of them belonged to Uncinaria stenocephala.”
From Distribution of Parasitic Helminths in the Small Intestine of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) (2020) · cites this paper as [1]
The Results (Tables 1 and 2; page unavailable) identify Uncinaria stenocephala in Dutch red foxes and list no other hookworm species, supporting the citing sentence’s tentative suggestion. The paper reports prevalence among foxes, however, not the proportion of hookworms belonging to that species in the citing authors’ investigation; it cannot establish the claimed ‘vast majority’ there. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe prevalence of Toxocara/Toxascaris nematodes in the study was similar to results obtained in other Polish regions and Europe.
“In the present study, the prevalence of these nematodes was similar to results obtained in other Polish regions [14,31,38,41] and Europe [1,2,3,8,10,13,16,19,37].”

In other parts of Europe, the percentage of A. alata infected foxes differs depending on the investigation and region, from very high to moderate and low to areas where these trematodes were not detected.
“In other parts of Europe, the percentage of A. alata infected foxes differs depending on the investigation (and region) from very high [3,34], moderate, and low [1,8,12,18,19,35] to areas where these trematodes were not detected [17,36,37].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
