| cerebrospinal elaphostrongylosis in sheep in northern norway. | pathologic examination of four sheep from northern norway exhibiting neurologic signs of paresis, paralysis and vestibular system disease revealed nematodes in the central nervous system (cns). the worms were identified as elaphostrongylus rangiferi mitskevich, 1960, the elaphostrongylid nematode of reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus). microscopic lesions found in the cns were focal traumatic encephalomyelomalacia caused by migrating worms, eosinophilic meningitis and choroiditis, lymphohistio ... | 1991 | 1796689 |
| epidemiological aspects of cerebrospinal elaphostrongylosis in small ruminants in northern norway. | pathology records from the state veterinary laboratory for northern norway were used to examine the association between the occurrence of cerebrospinal elaphostrongylosis (cse) in small ruminants and summer temperature and rainfall in northern norway. from 1968 to 1993, elaphostrongylus rangiferi induced cse was diagnosed in six sheep and 30 dairy goats from 28 different herds in northern norway. the animals were received for autopsy during 11 different winters. the occurrence of cse was associa ... | 1995 | 7483904 |
| bighorn sheep, a new host record for parelaphostrongylus odocoilei (nematoda: protostrongylidae). | larval nematodes with a dorsal spine on the tail were recovered from fecal samples of california bighorn sheep (ovis canadensis californiana) in northeastern washington state, usa. the identity of these dorsal-spined larvae (dsl) was established by single-strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) analyses of a partial fragment of the first internal transcribed spacer of the ribosomal dna. the sscp profiles of individual dsl from bighorn sheep were compared with those of dsl of five protostrongylid ... | 2006 | 17255460 |
| experimental cerebrospinal elaphostrongylosis (elaphostrongylus rangiferi) in sheep. | seven lambs were inoculated with 150-3,000 infective larvae of elaphostrongylus rangiferi and subsequently killed for autopsy. from one week post inoculation (p.i.), a marked eosinophilia was found, and one of the lambs showed signs of coughing, increased respiratory frequency and elevated body temperature. pruritus was observed in three lambs during the period 5-10 weeks p.i. gross and microscopic lesions were found in the liver, lungs, myocardium, kidneys, spinal nerve roots and in the central ... | 1993 | 8342366 |
