Table 1. Fecal prevalence (number of detected infections/number of samples) and apparent maximum prevalence (number of infected wolves/number of unique wolves) in northern Yellowstone wolves years 2018–2020.
| Cestode | Fecal prevalence (number of detected infections/number of samples) | Apparent maximum prevalence (number of infected wolves/number of unique wolves) |
|---|---|---|
| E. granulosus sensu lato | 4.8% (5/104) | 8.8% (3/34) |
| E. canadensis | 16.3% (17/104) | 23.5% (8/34) |
| E. multilocularis | 1.9% (2/104) | 2.9% (1/34) |
| T. serialis | 3.8% (4/104) | 5.9% (2/34) |
| Taenia spp., Mesocestoides spp., or Dipylidium caninum | 0.96% (1/104) | 0.0% (0/34) |
| Overall | 27.9% (29/104) | 38.2% (13/34) * |
*One wolf (1005F) was infected with different cestodes on two different sampling occasions (E. granulosus sensu lato, T. serialis), and therefore was only counted in apparent maximum prevalence once–thus overall prevalence is 13/34 although the rows add to 14.
