The standard flotation method revealed a 97.6% prevalence of infection at an average intensity of 20 eggs in a single subsample. The quantitative, modified McMaster method helped to estimate the mean number of eggs in a gram of faeces (EPG) at 134.7. In the studied samples eggs of nematodes representing two species, i.e. Ostertagia gruehneri (97.6%, on average 20 eggs in a sample) and Marshallagia marshalli (2.3%, single eggs), were identified.}, type={Article}, title={The level of infection with gastro-intestinal nematodes in Svalbard reindeers from Hornsund area, Spitsbergen}, URL={http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110604/PDF-MASTER/PPR28-277.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, faecal analysis, gastro-intestinal nematodes}, }
