Abomasal nematodes from three Norwegian wild reindeer populations
Three separate populations of wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) in Norway were examined for the presence of abomasal nematodes. The following six species were recorded: Ostertagia grühneri, Skrjabinagia arctica, Trichostrongylus axei, Teladorsagia circumcincta, Teladorsagia davtiani, and...
