Map of the cumulative proportion (%) of test‐positive animals for Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato in MSs and non‐MSs, by country, 2017–2021

• Intermediate hosts included on the map are cattle, deer, goats, horses, moose, mouflons, pigs, reindeer, sheep, water buffalos and wild boars. It should be stressed that pigs are intermediate hosts for both E. multilocularis and E. granulosus s.l. For this reason, data from pigs were excluded from co‐endemic countries – Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia – where Echinococcus species information was not reported.Spain (N = 302,433), Italy, (N = 248,530), United Kingdom ³³ (N = 71,861), Greece (N = 53,140), Bulgaria (N = 12,214), Poland (N = 2,630) and Slovakia (N = 995) were the countries with the highest endemicity for E. granulosus s.l. in the EU in 2017–2021.
