in sympatric wild reindeer and domestic sheep in Norway.

Wild and semi-domesticated reindeer graze freely on natural pastures in Norway, often sharing these with domestic sheep and other domestic and wild ruminants. In this study, faecal samples from wild reindeer and domestic sheep were collected from two areas in southern Norway and analysed to assess the occurrence and assemblage of Among 162 wild reindeer samples, 25 (15%) were positive for , showing high infection intensities, with most of the samples belonging to sub-assemblage AI, which has zoonotic potential. Interestingly, this study did not detect subassemblage AIII, known to be found in wild ruminants.

Baseline for the Northeast Atlantic (58-70°N) intertidal species complex ( spp.).

Mussels ( spp.) are abundant in the North Atlantic, sessile, and sensitive to environmental change, and suitable as sentinels of environment and climate change of costal ecosystems. We aimed to determine the baseline for the Northeast Atlantic (58-70°N) species complex, and to show the present distribution to surveys conducted 60 years ago.

Harvest and decimation affect genetic drift and the effective population size in wild reindeer.

Harvesting and culling are methods used to monitor and manage wildlife diseases. An important consequence of these practices is a change in the genetic dynamics of affected populations that may threaten their long-term viability. The effective population size ( ) is a fundamental parameter for describing such changes as it determines the amount of genetic drift in a population.

Impacts of a health literacy-informed intervention in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on hospitalization, health literacy, self-management, quality of life, and health costs - A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare the effect of motivational interviewing (MI) and tailored health literacy (HL) follow-up with usual care on hospitalization, costs, HL, self-management, Quality of life (QOL), and psychological stress in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods: A RCT was undertaken in Norway between March 2018-December 2020 (n = 127). The control group (CG, n = 63) received usual care.

Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, and Retention in Atlantic Salmon, L., Fed Diets with Fermented Sugar Kelp, .

Using low trophic marine resources such as sugar kelp () is of great interest to increase the circular food production in the ocean. Sugar kelp does, however, contain high levels of carbohydrates and iodine and does not have considerable levels of protein and lipids, which may make it less suitable as a feeding ingredient. A 10-week feeding trial was done to investigate the effect of graded dietary inclusion levels of fermented sugar kelp (FSK), on growth performance, digestibility, retention of nutrients, and mineral composition in postsmolt Atlantic salmon ( L.
