Similarity of Campylobacter lari among human, animal, and water isolates in Norway
Description :
A total of 49 isolates of Campylobacter lari from human, poultry, ducks, pigs, and water were genetically characterized. The species were identified by biotyping and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Automatic riboprints were performed with the PstI restriction enzyme and RiboPrinter®. The ...

Description :
Out of 100 faecal swab samples, 88 thermophilic Campylobacter representing ten herds were isolated. The species were identified by biotyping and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Of the isolates, 86 (97.7%) were C. coli, one was C. lari, and one was C. jejuni. All three species were isolate...

Detection of tick-borne pathogens by molecular methods
Description :
The use of molecular methods such as species-specific PCR, Multiplex-PCR, RT-PCR, reverse line blot hybridisation in investigations of tick-borne pathogens allowed to detect and identify the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis in ticks and rodents in Lithuania and Norw...

Haematological and serum biochemical reference values in free-ranging red deer (Cervus elaphus atlanticus)
Description :
Analyses of haematological and biochemical constituents were carried out on the Norwegian subspecies of free-ranging red deer (Cervus elaphus atlanticus). All animals were captured from January to March by using a mixture of xylazine and tiletamin-zolazepam. Immobilisation was performed with plasti...

Description :
A total of 1679 questing Ixodes ricinus ticks collected in Lithuania and 535 I. ricinus ticks collected in Norway from locations with different habitats were investigated for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. In Lithuania, 223 ticks (13.3%) were infected with B. burgdorferi s.l., and ...

Diversity of thermophilic Campylobacter isolated from the Bø River, Southeast Norway
Description :
Out of 125 samples we isolated 45 thermophilic Campylobacter spp. from Bø River by filtration followed by growth on selective agar plates. The species were identified by biotyping, multiplex PCR and riboprinting. C. jejuni represented 17 (37.7%), C. coli 2 (4.4%), C. lari 5 (11.1%), C. hyointestinal...

Genetic structure in an expanding cervid population after population reduction
Description :
The Norwegian red deer population (Cervus elaphus) was from the mid eighteenth to the early twentieth century drastically reduced in size and distribution but has the last century expanded both demographically and spatially. We have investigated genetic variation, differentiation and admixture in th...

Description :
A total of 693 small rodents were live-trapped in Lithuania and Norway. In Lithuania, the
mice Apodemus flavicollis and A. agrarius were more frequently infested with ticks than the voles
Microtus arvalis and Myodes glareolus. The overall prevalence of infestation with Ixodes ricinus
in different sa...
