Endoparasites in a Norwegian moose (Alces alces) population – Faunal diversity, abundance and body condition
Many health surveillance programs for wild cervids do not include routine parasite screening despite evidence that gastrointestinal parasites can affect wildlife population dynamics by influencing host fecundity and survival. Slaughter weights of moose in some regions of Norway have been decreasing over recent decades but any role of parasites has not yet been considered. We investigated parasi...
متن کاملManagement and Regulated Harvest of Moose (Alces alces) in Sweden
Sylvén, S. 2003. Management and regulated harvest of moose (Alces alces) in Sweden. Moose management has contributed to the large changes in the Swedish moose population during the last decades. Simulation experiments and monitoring of population parameters are two tools in the management system studied in this thesis. They can be used to increase the understanding of effects of different harve...
متن کاملWarm-season heat stress in moose (Alces alces)
Understanding howmoose (Alces alces (L., 1758)) are affected by temperature is critical for determiningwhy populations have recently declined at the southern extent of their North American range.Warm-season heat-stress thresholds of 14 and 20 °C are commonly used to study moose, but the variable response of free-ranging moose to temperatures above these thresholds suggests thatmoosemay bemore t...
متن کاملAnaplasma phagocytophilum infection in moose (Alces alces) in Norway.
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a tick-borne bacterium that infects a wide range of animal species. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of A. phagocytophilum in Norwegian moose Alces alces and to characterize the bacteria by sequencing of partial msp4 and 16S rRNA genes. Hunters collected spleen samples from 99 moose of different ages during 2013 and 2014 in two areas: Aust-Agde...
متن کاملPostmortal radiographic diagnosis of laminitis in a captive European moose (Alces alces).
A five year-old bull moose (Alces alces) was culled due to chronic hoof overgrowth that required frequent intervention. Radiographic examination revealed changes in phalangeal bone structure usually considered indicative for laminitis in domestic cattle; similar changes were absent in the hooves of a free-ranging moose of similar age. The captive animal had been maintained in exhibits whose flo...
