Pathologic examination of four sheep from northern Norway exhibiting neurologic signs of paresis, paralysis and vestibular system disease revealed nematodes in the central nervous system (CNS). The worms were identified as Elaphostrongylus rangiferi Mitskevich, 1960, the elaphostrongylid nematode of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus). Microscopic lesions found in the CNS were focal traumatic encephalomyelomalacia caused by migrating worms, eosinophilic meningitis and choroiditis, lymphohistiocytic and nematode granulomas, and perineural infiltrations. The disease occurred in November and December 1990, after the sheep had been on pasture in areas frequented by considerable numbers of reindeer.

Clinical picture of congenital Toxoplasma gondii has been presented in 20 children. The infection was diagnosed in 18 children in the first and in 2 children in the sixth month of life. Clinical symptoms were observed in as many as 12 children. The most frequent symptoms were those concerning central nervous system, organ of vision in the form of hydrocephalus, spastic paresis, epilepsy, intracranial calcification, choroiditis, retinitis and vision impairment. The presented analysis indicates an urgent need of introduction of screening in pregnant women and infants and widespreading of prophylactic activity aiming at raising awareness of the existing threat of T. gondii infection.
