Spiculopteragia boehmi is the dominant abomasal nematode species in reindeer (Nordland County, Norway) sharing pasture with wild and domesticated ruminants

The abomasal nematode fauna was dominated by Spiculopteragia boehmi, a species of uncertain significance, though no apparent impact on the slaughter weights was observed. The faecal egg counts was not correlated with the abomasal nematode counts, underscoring the importance of considering season of sampling. The brainworm Elaphostrongylus rangiferi was found at a high, but not exceptional, prevalence in reindeer older than 1.5 years, consistent with previous studies from Norway. Zoonotic Giardia assemblages may indicate potential for anthropozoonotic transmission.
