The level of infection with gastro−intestinal nematodes in Svalbard reindeers from Hornsund area, Spitsbergen
Abstract: Eighty five faecal samples of the Svalbard reindeer inhabiting the coastal terrace of the northern side of Hornsund were collected in July 2005 and analyzed coprologically. The standard flotation method revealed a 97.6 % prevalence of infection at an average inten− sity of 20 eggs in a sin...
