title: Echinococcus multilocularis: a rare cestode of the domestic cat in France.
abstract: A cat living in the city of Annemasse (Haute-Savoie) was parasitized by a single minute specimen of the cestode E. multilocularis. The main characteristics of the parasite are described and illustrated. The cat has not previously been reported as one of the definitive hosts of this cestode in France. A potentially serious epidemiological problem is raised by the presence of an infected cat in an urban estate.
