echinococcosis in slaughtered reindeer (rangifer tarandus) in the northern part of troms and western part of finnmark counties, during the winter 1975/76. 1976983895
spatial variation in the vulnerability of norwegian arctic counties to radiocaesium deposition.under the arctic monitoring and assessment programme (amap), studies have been undertaken to compare potential fluxes of radiocaesium via important food products. the results for three norwegian arctic counties are presented in this paper. the comparative importance of different foodstuffs in contributing to collective dose varies spatially due to differing rates of production and transfer. although reindeer meat is an important contributor to the radiocaesium flux following a nuclear release, o ...19979241885
blood lipids, fatty acids, diet and lifestyle parameters in adolescents from a region in northern norway with a high mortality from coronary heart disease.students aged 13 and 14 y, in a region in northern norway with high blood cholesterol levels and high mortality from coronary heart disease (chd) in the adult population, were studied with respect to lifestyle, dietary habits, nutritional intake and blood lipids including fatty acids in serum. the students came from a coastal community with seawater fish as an important part of the traditional diet, and an inland community with meat from reindeer as a major constituent of the diet.200212080412
long-term consequences for northern norway of a hypothetical release from the kola nuclear power plant.the spatial and temporal variation in radiocaesium and (90)sr doses to two population groups of the two northernmost counties of norway, troms and finnmark, following a hypothetical accident at the kola nuclear power plant (knpp) have been estimated using a model implemented within a geographical information system. the hypothetical accident assumes a severe loss of coolant accident at the knpp coincident with meteorological conditions causing significant radionuclide deposition in the two count ...200415172571
fatal inanition in reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus): pathological findings in completely emaciated carcasses.in a project to determine the causes of winter mortality in reindeer in finnmark county, northern norway, the most frequent diagnosis turned out to be complete emaciation, despite several of the reindeer having been given silage for up to 4 weeks before they died. the present paper describes autopsy results and other findings in these animals.200717903247
cervid herpesvirus 2 causes respiratory and fetal infections in semidomesticated reindeer.members of the viral subfamily alphaherpesvirinae establish latency from which they can be reactivated. bovine herpesvirus 1 causes infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and infectious pustular vulvovaginitis in cattle, as well as abortion and weak calves. serological evidence of alphaherpesvirus infection has been reported for wild and semidomesticated reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus) in norway. to address the possibility that reindeer alphaherpesvirus (cervid herpesvirus 2 [cvhv-2]) infection ...200919279181
alphaherpesvirus infections in semidomesticated reindeer: a cross-sectional serological study.alphaherpesviruses infect a wide range of animal species and cause diseases. cervid herpesvirus 2 (cvhv-2) was originally isolated from reindeer in finland but the impact of cvhv-2 infections on reindeer remains unclear. cvhv-2 infection could be partly responsible for calf losses as there are indications that it is associated with abortions and neonatal diseases. previous serosurveys of reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus) have shown that an alphaherpesvirus is circulating among reindeer in no ...200919604658
gammaherpesvirus infection in semidomesticated reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus): a cross-sectional, serologic study in northern norway.malignant catarrhal fever (mcf) is caused by a group of gammaherpesviruses that primarily affect domestic and wild ruminants. using competitive-inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we screened 3,339 apparently healthy, semidomesticated reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus) from finnmark county, norway, sampled during slaughter. the overall antibody prevalence was 3.5% and varied among reindeer herding districts in finnmark (0-6.7%), the largest reindeer herding region in norway. the ris ...201323568901
composition and some quality characteristics of the longissimus muscle of reindeer in norway compared to farmed new zealand red deer.norwegian reindeer of finnmark county live under harsh conditions on extensive feed sources. thus the meat may have special qualities. m. longissimus lumborum from 30 animals was investigated with respect to carcass and meat quality and compositional/nutritional characteristics. meat from calves had a higher myofibrillar fragmentation index and tenderness, and had lighter, redder and more yellow colour than meat from adult reindeer. regarding nutritional compounds the meat from calves had lower ...201121757298
incentives and regulations to reconcile conservation and development: thirty years of governance of the sami pastoral ecosystem in finnmark, norway.incentive-based mechanisms are regarded as efficient instruments to reconcile conservation and development. this win-win objective has been difficult to accomplish; cross-compliance has, therefore, been suggested as a mechanism to ensure sustainability. cross-compliance, which requires producers to conform to production regulations and environmental standards to qualify for direct payments, has been a popular instrument in the common agricultural policy (cap) reform. since 1990, cross-compliance ...201121745708
