    Henry, Séverine; Sigurjónsdóttir, Hrefna; Klapper, Aziliz; Joubert, Julie; Montier, Gabrielle; Hausberger, Martine (MDPI AG, 2020-02-23)
    Abstract: Artificial weaning is a standard practice known to be one of the most stressful events in a domestic foal’s life. Research has mainly focused on ways to alleviate weaning stress. However, there is still a need for more detailed research on ...

    The effect of maternal immunity on the equine gammaherpesvirus type 2 and 5 viral load and antibody response 
    Thorsteinsdottir, Lilja; Jónsdóttir, Sigríður; Stefánsdóttir, Sara Björk; Andrésdóttir, Valgerður; Wagner, Bettina; Marti, Eliane; Torsteinsdóttir, Sigurbjörg; Svansson, Vilhjálmur (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 ...

    First Report of Resistance to Ivermectin in Parascaris univalens in Iceland 
    Martin, Frida; Svansson, Vilhjálmur; Eydal, Matthías; Oddsdóttir, Charlotta; Ernback, Maja; Persson, Isa; Tydén, Eva (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 ...

    Heysjúkdómar á Íslandi II. Sjúkdómavaldar í heyi og rannsóknir á Íslandi 
    Gislason, David; Asmundsson, Tryggvi; Gíslason, Þórarinn (2021-03)
    Ágrip Sjúkdómar tengdir vinnu í heyryki hafa lengi verið þekktir á Íslandi. Árið 1981 hófust rannsóknir á heysjúkdómum að beiðni bændasamtakanna og eru helstu niðurstöður þeirra dregnar saman í þessari grein. Í ljós kom að mikið magn af heymítlum, myglu ...

    Neonatal Immunization with a Single IL-4/Antigen Dose Induces Increased Antibody Responses after Challenge Infection with Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1) at Weanling Age 
    Wagner, Bettina; Perkins, Gillian; Babasyan, Susanna; Freer, Heather; Keggan, Alison; Goodman, Laura B.; Glaser, Amy; Torsteinsdóttir, Sigurbjörg; Svansson, Vilhjálmur; Björnsdóttir, Sigríður (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 ...

    Ritual Animal Killing and Burial Customs in Viking Age Iceland 
    Leifsson, Rúnar (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 ...

    Spotted phenotypes in horses lost attractiveness in the Middle Ages 
    Wutke, Saskia; Benecke, Norbert; Sandoval-Castellanos, Edson; Döhle, Hans-Jürgen; Friederich, Susanne; Gonzalez, Javier; Hofreiter, Michael; Lõugas, Lembi; Magnell, Ola; Morales-Muniz, Arturo; Orlando, Ludovic; Reissmann, Monika; Ruttkay, Matej; Trinks, Alexandra; Ludwig, Arne; Palsdottir, Albina Hulda; Hallsson, Jon (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 ...
