Potential cumulative number of S. tundra L3 larvae transmitted from one infectious reindeer and the maximum proportion of liver condemnation due to S. tundra in Finnish reindeer per week (based on slaughterhouse observations) in the southern region, Kuusamo (red), the central region, Sodankylä (blue), and the northern region, Kevo (black), of Finnish Lapland, 2004–2015. Note the two Y-axes have different units. The model based on Finnish meteorological temperatures did not detect worm transmission during the years 2007, 2008 and 2015 in Kuusamo (southern region), whereas the model using estimated microclimatic temperatures showed moderate-to-high worm transmission in those years. Liver condemnation rate and predicted number of worm transmitted peaked during the same period.
