In 2018, six wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) from the Nordfjella sub-population in South-Norway and one moose (Alces alces) from the Flesberg municipality tested positive for CWD. The culling process in Nordfjella was completed in spring 2018. A total of 33,658 samples of wild, semi-domesticated and captive cervids were analysed in 2018 (includes two reindeer from Svalbard). A scientific paper described the findings of CWD in Norwegian moose to be of a novel type. In addition to cervids, also enrolled in Norwegian surveillance of animal TSE is wild musk ox (Ovibos moschatus). Twenty-two animals, all from the Dovrefjell Mountains, were tested and found negative for TSE.
