Map demonstrating the search pattern used for sampling of fox feces in a collection site March 2015. The white line depicts the GPS tracklog (walking path) of the researcher. Yellow diamonds are Echinococcus multilocularis negative feces and red triangles are E. multilocularis positive feces. Some landscape features, which were used to direct the search pattern, are labeled on the map. The white arrow (low center at right) indicates a track along a mowed grass path not shown on map. The white asterisk (center) indicates an area of stones. The grey shaded area (left-center) is an area of very dense water vole activity and indicates one area where these rodents were trapped. The white circle (at top left) indicates a well top. A North arrow is present far left, outside the sampling area.
