A Contribution to its Epidemiology

Abstract
Lungworms are not often observed in reindeer in Scandinavia. The present report shows that Dictyocaulus viviparus infestation is probably endemic in reindeer in northern Norway. Serious outbreaks occur in reindeer calves, also in combination with Pasteurella multocida infections.
