The Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) has appointed Carlos das Neves as director for research and internationalisation. Carlos is currently Head of the food safety and antimicrobial resistance section at NVI, and is a senior researcher in the fields of wildlife health and One Health.

Monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in the environment and among wild animals is currently inadequate. The Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) participates in an international network that will map the need for new knowledge about antibiotic resistance, what is known and how monitoring data can be compared.

The Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) has tested all samples from wild reindeer taken during the 2018 hunt in Hardangervidda and in Nordfjella zone 2, and has not found a single case of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).

In 2018, the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) analyzed more than 33 000 samples from deer for chronic wasting disease (CWD).
