Cerebrospinal elaphostrongylosis in sheep in northern Norway. Abstract Text:

K Handeland,

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, lymphohistiocytic and nematode granulomas, and perineural infiltrations. The disease occurred in November and December 1990, after the sheep had been on pasture in areas frequented by considerable numbers of reindeer.
