A minute specimen of a tapeworm from the small intestine of a domestic cat is related to Echinococcus multilocularis. The natural infestation of the cat by this species of cestode is demonstrated in France for the first time. The cat was captured in the field around buildings of the neighbourhood of Annemasse (Haute-Savoie). This case illustrates the possibility of an urban life cycle extension of alveolar echinococcosis in the permanent endemic areas of the zoonosis in France and also the eventual risks of contamination for urban dwellers by parasite eggs laying on the ground or on the carnivorous domestic animal furs.
从一只家猫小肠中取出的一小段绦虫标本与多房棘球绦虫有关。这种绦虫在家猫身上的自然感染在法国首次得到证实。这只猫是在阿讷马斯（上萨瓦省）附近街区建筑物周围的野外捕获的。该病例说明了在法国这种人畜共患病的永久性流行地区，肺泡型棘球蚴病城市生命周期延长的可能性，以及城市居民因地面上或食肉家畜皮毛上的寄生虫卵而受到污染的潜在风险。
