Prevention of Alveolar Hydatid Disease:

If you live in an area where E. multilocularis is found in rodents and wild canines, take the following precautions to avoid infection:

Don’t touch a fox, coyote, or other wild canine, dead or alive, unless you are wearing gloves. Hunters and trappers should use plastic gloves to avoid exposure.
Don’t keep wild animals, especially wild canines, as pets or encourage them to come close to your home.
Don’t allow your cats and dogs to wander freely or to capture and eat rodents.
If you think that your pet may have eaten rodents, consult your veterinarian about the possible need for preventive treatments.
After handling pets, always wash your hands with soap and warm water.
Fence in gardens to keep out wild animals.
Do not collect or eat wild fruits or vegetables picked directly from the ground. All wild-picked foods should be washed carefully or cooked before eating.
