Abstract The first report of Aelurostrongylus falciformis Schlegel 1933 in Fennoscandian badgers is described. Routine parasitological examination of nine Norwegian badgers at the National Veterinary Institute during 2004 and 2005 identified A. falciformis in the terminal airways of five of the animals. The first stage larvae L1 closely resembled in size and morphology those of Angiostrongylus vasorum Baillet 1866 . The diagnosis for both A. falciformis and A. vasorum is frequently based on the identification of L1 in faeces or sputum. The potential for misclassification of an A. falciformis infection as A. vasorum where larval identification is the only diagnostic method used is discussed. Background Aelurostrongylus falciformis Schlegel 1933 is a metastrongyle lung nematode of .
