Abstract Background The reindeer brainworm, Elaphostrongylus rangiferi , is a protostrongylid parasite of that has caused severe disease outbreaks in husbandry. E. considered ubiquitous Norway, though most published prevalence studies are from Finnmark county only. In the present study, faecal samples were collected over three winter seasons (2013–2016) eight herds semi-domesticated Eurasian tundra ( Rangifer tarandus ) distributed all herding area Norway. Baermann’s technique was used to...
Infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) is a transmissible disease in semi-domesticated Eurasian reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus). It regarded as multifactorial and single causative pathogen has not yet been identified. From clinical outbreaks we have previously identified Cervid herpesvirus 2 (CvHV2) Moraxella bovoculi candidates for experimental investigations. Eighteen were inoculated the right eye with CvHV2 (n = 5), M. 5) or sterile saline water 3; controls).All animals CvHv2, alone...
In a project to determine the causes of winter mortality in reindeer Finnmark County, northern Norway, most frequent diagnosis turned out be complete emaciation, despite several having been given silage for up 4 weeks before they died. The present paper describes autopsy results and other findings these animals. Autopsies were made 32 carcasses, 28 diagnosed as completely emaciated based on lack visible fat serous atrophy subepicardial bone marrow fat. Other investigations carcasses included...
The influence of diet on the morphology reindeer ruminal papillae was investigated in 4 groups 3 free-ranging calves at different seasons, and 11 fed experimental diets. Length, cross-sectional perimeter density (number/cm2) were measured sample sites rumen wall, surface enlargement factor (SEF) calculated each site. range group means 2.3 to 3.4 mm for overall papillary length (mean four sites), 2.2 3.5 perimeter, 85 189 papillae/cm2 papillar 5.8 18.6 SEF. Differences between wete observed,...
Affinity between protein-G and immunoglobulins from red deer (Cervus elaphus), moose (Alces alces), roe (Capreolus capreolus), reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) was tested in a competition binding assay. Sera deer, reindeer, inhibited the assay less than sera cattle (less affinity), whereas showed slightly higher affinity to did cattle. The conclusion made that could be used instead of anti-species antibodies for these cervid species, where aim screening look exposure or lack...
Intraosseous cannulation can be life-saving when intravenous access cannot readily achieved. However, it has been shown that the procedure may cause fat emboli to lungs and brain. Fat embolization serious respiratory failure embolism syndrome. We investigated whether intraosseous fluid resuscitation in pigs hemorrhagic shock caused pulmonary or systemic heart, brain, kidneys if this was enhanced by open chest conditions.We induced anesthetized followed fluid-resuscitation through bilaterally...
Wild ruminants, including deer species (cervids) have incorrectly been regarded as refractory to yew (Taxus) intoxication. This assumption has based upon anecdotal observations of individual browsing on over time without apparent adverse effect. A single case intoxication was reported in a free-ranging Norwegian moose (Alces alces) 2008. The current report describes five additional cases toxicosis moose, seven roe (Capreolus capreolus) and two reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus), all...
Semidomesticated Eurasian tundra reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus tarandus, n = 21) were scheduled twice for chemical immobilization with medetomidine–ketamine as part of a scientific experiment in June 2014. During the first round immobilizations, seven animals developed severe respiratory depression (RD). Three individuals died, and 4 recovered. The ambient temperature during 2 days (June 3 4) was high (mean 13.9–17.6°C) compared to normal mean these (7–8°C) based on statistical records....
