(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-10)Background: Culicoides hypersensitivity (CH) is induced in horses by salivary allergens of Culicoides midges. In Iceland, the causal Culicoides species for CH are not present. Previous epidemiological data indicated that Icelandic horses are more ... -
(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2024-03)Sumarexem er húðofnæmi af gerð I í hestum sem orsakast af framleiðslu á IgE mótefnum gegn ofnæmisvökum upprunnum úr biti smámýs (Culicoides spp.). Sjúkdómsvaldurinn lifir ekki á Íslandi. Tíðni sjúkdómsins er mun hærri í útfluttum hestum samanborið við ...

(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2017-03)Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) is a type I allergy of horses with production of IgE and release of inflammatory mediators. It is caused by bites of midges of the genus Culicoides. The disease is a recurrent dermatitis characterized by pruritic skin ...

(Wiley, 2019-03-06)Molecular serum markers that can identify early reversible osteoarthritis (OA) in horses are lacking. Objectives: We studied serum concentrations of a novel cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) neo-epitope in horses subjected to short-term exercise ...
-
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019-06-21)Two types of gammaherpesviruses (γEHV) are known to infect horses, EHV-2 and EHV-5. Foals become infected early in life, probably via the upper respiratory tract, despite maternal antibodies. In this study, we analyzed samples from a herd of mares and ...

(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2020-03)Íslenski hesturinn er eini hestastofninn á Íslandi. Hestar voru fluttir hingað við landnám og hafa verið hreinræktaðir síðan. Vegna landfræðilegrar einangrunar er stofninn berskjaldaður fyrir mörgum sjúkdómsvöldum sem herja á hesta í öðrum löndum. ...

(2021-01-25)Horses in Iceland have been isolated for more than 1,000 yr but still harbor a similar range of gastrointestinal parasites as do horses across the world. The long isolation of the horses and their parasites presumably means that no resistance genes ...

(Hið íslenska náttúrufræðifélag og Náttúruminjasafn Íslands, 2019)Rannsóknir á félagshegðun hesta hér á landi hafa verið stundaðar síðan um miðjan níunda áratug síðustu aldar. Fyrri höfundur þessarar greinar hefur tekið þátt í þeim flestum. Í þessari grein eru teknar saman niðurstöður rannsókna sem byggjast á ...

(Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis, 2015)Domestic animals have rich phenotypic diversity that can be explored to advance our understanding of the relationship between molecular genetics and phenotypic variation. Since the advent of second generation sequencing, it has become easier to ...

(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-01-03)Neonatal foals respond poorly to conventional vaccines. These vaccines typically target T-helper (Th) cell dependent B-cell activation. However, Th2-cell immunity is impaired in foals during the first three months of life. In contrast, neonatal basophils ...

(University of Iceland, School of Humanities, Faculty of History and Philosophy, 2018-05)In this thesis the ritual killing and burial of animals on grave-fields in Viking Age Iceland is critically re-evaluated, on a site-by-site basis, in order to characterize these customs and place them in a social and historical context. The foundation ...
-
(Elsevier BV, 2019-01)Horses are the most common grave goods found in Icelandic Viking Age graves. Horse skeletons have previously been sexed based on pelvis shape and the presence of canine teeth in male horses over 4–5 years of age. Morphological data has shown that all ...
-
(2019)We explore how herd composition and management factors correlate with frequencies of social interactions in horse groups. Since the welfare of horses correlates with low aggression levels and social contact opportunities, information of this kind is ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2016-12-07)Horses have been valued for their diversity of coat colour since prehistoric times; this is especially the case since their domestication in the Caspian steppe in ~3,500 BC. Although we can assume that human preferences were not constant, we have only ...

(Hið íslenska náttúrufræðifélag, 2020)The habit of the common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) to associate with grazing horses is spreading in Iceland. When asked I found that many thought the birds were picking parasites from the skin of the horses. I found no references to scientific papers ...
