  "abstract": "Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato are the causative agents of two major zoonotic diseases, alveolar echinococcosis and cystic echinococcosis, respectively, and are ranked among the four most important foodborne parasites worldwide. Although interest in food contamination by taeniid eggs is increasing, the estimation of the number of eggs present in food items is still lacking. Using E. multilocularis eggs isolated from fecal samples of experimentally infected red foxes, an average of 5261 (±1253) mitochondrial DNA copies per egg was estimated by digital PCR (dPCR). Based on this estimation, 47 taeniid DNA samples previously obtained.",
