THE OCCURRENCE OF GAPEWORM (Syngamus trachea) IN WILLOW GROUSE

KATHRIN WISSLER, Odd Halvorsen

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

21.4% of the willow grouse (Lagopus lagopus) examined from a coastal locality in northern Norway were infected with Syngamus trachea. None of the willow grouse examined from an inland locality with colder and longer winters were infected with the parasite. It is suggested that the parasite may influence survival of the grouse population.
