Experimental Studies of Elaphostrongylus rangiferi in Reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus tarandus): Life Cycle, Pathogenesis, and Pathology
Summary A total of 12 reindeer calves ( Rangifer tarandus tarandus ) were given 200–1,000 infective larvae of Elaphostrongylus rangiferi and autopsied 2 1/2–196 days post inoculation (p.i.). The larvae penetrated venules of the abomasal wall and followed the bloodstream via the liver to the lungs. I...
