Abstract
Sera from 326 Norwegian reindeer (NR) and from 40 Svalbard reindeer (SR) were examined for antibodies to reindeer herpesvirus (RHV), bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) and parainfulenza type 3 virus (PIV-3). No antibodies to any of these three viruses were detected in sera from SR. Sixty-three percent of sera from 101 adult NR (> 12 months old) and 15% of 225 NR calves (6 months old) had antibodies to RHV; corresponding values for BVDV were 41% and 6%, respectively. Twenty-seven percent of adult NR and 1% of NR calves had antibodies to both viruses. No antibodies to PIV-3 were detected in any NR sera.

Summary
Sera from 326 Norwegian reindeer (NR) and from 40 Svalbard reindeer (SR) were examined for antibodies to reindeer herpesvirus ( R H V ) , bovine viral diarrhoea virus ( B V D V ) and parainfulenza type 3 virus (PIV-3). Reindeer m a y become infected w i t h these viruses, but usually withoutshowing any sign of clinical disease. Finnmark which tested seropositive for antibodies to reindeer herpesvirus and bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV).
