We show that a closed Nielsen-Olesen string in the presence of a point
scalar source exhibits the phenomenon of Fermi-Bose transmutation. Th
is provides physical support to previous claims about transmutation be
tween bosonic and fermionic one-dimensional structures in (3+1) dimens
ions. In order to render the computations mathematically rigorous we h
ave resorted to an Euclidean lattice regularization.
