Revens dvergbendelmark

Parasitten Echinococcus multilocularis har aldri blitt påvist hos vilt i fastlands-Norge.

Formålet med overvåkningsprogrammet er å dokumentere at fastlands-Norge er fritt for den zoonotiske bendelmarken E. multilocularis.

2025

The prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) in definitive hosts (red fox, wolf) was investigated by analysing PCR results from faecal samples of 505 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) collected during the licensed fox-hunting season in 2025, and one grey wolf (Canis lupus) that was also sampled in 2025. All samples tested negative. The absence of positive results for E. multilocularis, indicates that the prevalence in carnivore hosts (foxes and wolves) was below 1% at a confidence level of at least 95% as required to maintain the Echinococcus multilocularis-free status for mainland Norway.
