Surveillance for the fox tapeworm, Echinococcus multilocularis, has been carried out in Sweden since 2000, with about 300 red foxes analysed annually. We report the first finding of E. multilocularis in Sweden, in a fox shot in December 2010 in the south-west of the country. A second infected fox shot in the same location was detected in March 2011. This paper describes the national monitoring programme and the ongoing work to estimate the prevalence and spread of the infection.
自 2000 年以来，瑞典一直在对狐狸绦虫（细粒棘球绦虫）进行监测，每年约有 300 只红狐被分析。我们报告了在瑞典首次发现细粒棘球绦虫，这是在该国西南部 2010 年 12 月射杀的一只狐狸中发现的。2011 年 3 月在同一地点发现了第二只感染的狐狸。本文描述了国家监测计划以及正在进行的工作，以估计感染的流行率和传播范围。
