On these sites isolated human bones, as well as complete human skeletons and complete animal carcasses, usually elk or aurochs, were deposited. It was an elk, a coyote, a lynx and a human. There were big populations of larger mammals such as elk, deer, bears, wolves and wild boar. Two natural cycles involve the wolf and 2 species of deer, the reindeer and the elk (moose), respectively. Up to 34 metacestodes occurred in the lungs of individual animals (suggesting a cumulative effect not recorded in wild reindeer, but typical in elk). The metacestodes evidently become infective when young elk are about 2 years old. Of 188 elk/moose included in the survey, 28 (15 %) were infected, with an intensity of only one to 9 cysts. Of 12 elk from one region, 7 (58 %) were infected ; of 30 from various regions, the metacestode was present in 25 (83 %). The metacestodes apparently do not accumulate with increasing age of the host, as is typical in elk (see below), but perhaps behavioural differences in the two species are involved.
