    • Pharmacokinetics of a long-acting subcutaneous eprinomectin injection in semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) - a pilot study 

      Davidson, Rebecca K.; Fæste, Christiane Kruse; Uhlig, Silvio; Tukun, Feng-Ling; Lian, Hans Edvin; Solvang, Hans Arne; Thorvaldsen, Renate; Folkow, Lars; Sanchez Romano, Javier; Kilvær, Marianne V.; Holmgren, Karin Elisabeth; Nymo, Ingebjørg Helena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-17)
      Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) are exposed to the pathogenic parasitic nematode Elaphostrongylus rangiferi during grazing. The severity of disease is dose-dependent. Prophylactic anthelmintic treatment is needed to improve animal health and reindeer herding sustainability. Herds are traditionally only gathered once during the summer, requiring a drug with a persistent effect. In this study ...

      Nymo, Ingebjørg Helena; Fuglei, Eva; Mørk, Torill; Breines, Eva Marie; Holmgren, Karin Elisabeth; Davidson, Rebecca K.; Tryland, Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-07-06)
      Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) are susceptible to smooth Brucella (s-Brucella) infection and may be exposed to such bacteria through the consumption of infected marine mammals, as implied by the finding of s-Brucella antibodies in polar bears (Ursus maritimus). Arctic foxes in Svalbard have not previously been investigated for s-Brucella antibodies, but such antibodies have been detected in Arctic ...
