Abstract

Six species of abomasal nematodes were recovered from Svalbard reindeer. Marshallagia marshalli and Ostertagia gruhneri were more prevalent than Skrjabinagia lyrata, Teladorsagia circumcincta, O. occidentalis and O. trifurcata. Of 24 reindeer examined, all harbored adult abomasal nematodes. There was no significant difference in intensity of infection between winter (April) and autumn (October) for either adult males or females. In winter, intensity of infection of adult males was significantly higher than that of females. In calves, during the autumn, intensity of infection was low.
