EXPERIMENTAL TRICHINELLOSIS IN REINDEER

Journal of Parasitology, 2000
Six female reindeer calves were inoculated intraruminally with various doses of Trichinella muscle larvae. Four calves were inoculated with T. nativa, receiving 15,000 (n = 1), 5,000 (1), and 2,500 (2) larvae each. Two calves were inoculated with 5,000 T. spiralis larvae each. Blood samples were collected twice per week for total white blood cell (WBC)

THE OCCURRENCE OF SETARIA IN REINDEER

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1971
Setaria yehi Desset, 1966, is reported from domestic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus Linnaeus), maintained at College and Cantwell, Alaska. Microfilariae were present in blood from reindeer harboring S. yehi. Gross and microscopic findings in the infected animals revealed a low-grade peritonitis.

Specific IgE to reindeer epithelium in Finnish reindeer herders

Allergy, 1991
Reindeer herding is a major source of living for more than 4200 inhabitants in northern Finland. To determine the prevalence of allergic symptoms among reindeer herders clinical examinations and skin prick tests (SPT) with nine inhalant allergens were performed in 211 randomly selected men from 21 to 69 (mean 45) years.

Circadian organization in reindeer

Nature, 2005
The light/dark cycle of day and night synchronizes an internal 'biological clock' that governs daily rhythms in behaviour, but this form of regulation is denied to polar animals for most of the year. Here we demonstrate that the continuous lighting conditions of summer and of winter at high latitudes cause a loss in daily rhythmic activity in reindeer ...

Reindeer Physical Activity Patterns and Reconstruction of Feeding Behaviour: Implications for Reindeer Domestication and Human-Reindeer Interaction

2021
Recent developments in physical activity assessment of reindeer offer a possibility to identify reindeer activity in the archaeological record. These include species-specific muscle attachment site scoring, identification of activity-related pathologies, and bone biomechanical properties.

Pulmonary circulation in the reindeer

Basic Research in Cardiology, 1978
Right heart catheterizations were performed in 56 sessions on 25 reindeer with determinations of blood pressure and oxygen saturation. Cardiac output was calculated from cineangiocardiograms. When the animals were placed in prone position, heart rate was about 50/min, mixed venous blood oxygen saturation 68 to 72%, right ventricular systolic pressure ...

Reindeer health and welfare

Veterinary Record, 2009
I have been receiving an increasing number of referred cases of illthrift and death in reindeer recently imported into England from Scandinavia. I don't have much knowledge of this species, but it would seem that having evolved as migratory deer they have little innate ability to cope with ...
