- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a male yearling forest reindeer (R tarandus fennicus), submitted dead for postmortem examination. It notes the findings of the postmortem, microbiological and histological examination of the deer, including the isolation of Clostridium noyvi from its cellular morphology. It mentions that Clostridium noyvi is widely distributed in soil and causes black disease. It concludes that the deer was incompletely vaccinated and highly susceptible to black disease.
