Cerebrospinal Elaphostrongylosis in Dairy Goats in Northern Norway
Summary Ten carcasses and three vertebral columns from north Norwegian dairy goats, which had been killed due to clinical signs of severe neurologic disease, were received for necropsy. Pathological examination revealed nematodes and nematode ova in the central nervous system (CNS) of nine goats. Wo...
