^aThe number of reindeer (all ages) sampled includes animals from which the age information was unavailable, together with the number of calves and adults.
^bThe severity of the ocular disease was scored with 0 for asymptomatic animals, 1 for animals with increased lacrimation and/or mild conjunctivitis or 2 for animals with moderate to severe clinical signs of IKC. Animals from which information was not registered were placed in column NR
