In two of the granulomas were present worms of genus Onchocerca but also colonics of bacteria. The third granuloma comprised of a suppurative small necrotizing ulceration of the mucosa containing vegetable cells and a granuloma in the underlaying submucosa containing filamentous bacteria typical for necrobacillosis. Outbreaks of necrobacillosis, affecting the mouth and digestive organs, in connection with supplementary feeding, appears to be of multifactorial genesis. Abrasions or other injuries of the oral mucosa caused by parasitic granulomas or sharp vegetable matters in the fodder or from troughs may contribute to outbreaks of necrobacillosis.</p><p>Granulom i tungan p&aring; ren (Rangifer tarandus L)</p><p>Abstract in Swedish / Sammanfattning: P&aring; 3 av 33, 11 m&aring;naders renar som g&aring;tt i utfodring i c:a 3 m&aring;naders tid, p&aring;visades, vid obduktion, submucosa &aring;rtstora granulom ventro-lateralt p&aring; tungan. I tv&aring; av fallen inneholl granulomen maskar av genus Onchocerca men ocks&aring; bakterieh&aring;rdar medan i det tredje fallet forel&aring;g en mindre suppurativ necrotiserande ulceration i mucosan inneh&aring;llande v&aring;xtdelar medan i underliggande submucosa fanns ett granulom inneh&aring;llande bakterieh&aring;rdar, med filamentosa bakterier, typiska for necrobacillos. Utbrott av necrobacillos, affecterande munh&aring;la och digestionsorgan, i samband med utfodring av ren torde vara orsakade av ett flertal olika faktorer. Skador i munslemhinnan orsakade av vassa v&aring;xtdelar i foder eller fr&aring;n krubbor eller av suppurerande parasit&aring;ra granulom torde kunna vara bidragande orsaker till utbrott av necrobacillos.</p> ER -
