Fig. 4. Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) were only recently recognized as competent hosts of Echinococcus. In the central Namibian farming area, they contribute to a possible silvatic transmission of E. canadensis G6/7, that also involves jackals and oryx antelopes. Exemplifying the interface of domestic and silvatic life cycles, this photo shows two cheetahs having killed a calf of Maasai cattle inside Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Photo: T. Romig, 2023.
