the reindeer abomasal nematode (ostertagia gruehneri) is naturally transmitted to sheep when sharing pastures.	the increasing number of sheep (ovis aries) in northern finland, often alternately corralled with winter-fed reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus), creates potential for cross-infection of gastrointestinal nematodes. the aim of this study was to elucidate this possibility with 43 animals. eleven reindeer and 8 sheep had shared a corral by turns, reindeer during winters, and sheep in summers. another 12 reindeer had no known contact with sheep. twelve sheep had no close contact to other ruminants ...	2014	25106839
chilling requirements for hatching of a new zealand isolate of nematodirus filicollis.	the eggs of some species of the parasitic nematode nematodirus require a period of chilling before they can hatch; n. filicollis is one such species. this study investigated this requirement for chilling in a new zealand strain of this species. eggs of n. filicollis were extracted from lamb's faeces and incubated at 20°c to allow development to the third stage larvae within the egg. these eggs were then placed into tissue culture plates and incubated at: 2.7°c (±0.99), 3.6°c (±0.90), 4.7°c (±0.3 ...	2016	27514876
