LAST EDITED ON Feb-17-10 AT 09:27AM (MST)[p]study more on Echinococcosis granulosus--it's common in alot of animals such as coyotes, foxes, jackals even domesticated dogs.
Anything that is carnivorous or omnivorous...this is why it's goog to keep your dog crap picked up in your yard, especially if your kids play back there.
