DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2017.01.005
Abstract: Viral metagenomic analysis detected a novel polyomavirus in a 6-month old female alpaca (Vicugna pacos) euthanized after a diagnosis of disseminated lymphosarcoma. The viral genome was fully sequenced, found to be similar to other polyomaviruses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvp.13045
Abstract: The study objective was to determine the disposition of gamithromycin in plasma, peripheral blood polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs), pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (PELF), and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells in alpacas. A single subcutaneous injection of gamithromycin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/tbed.13471
Abstract: The present study highlights the transboundary nature of tuberculosis (TB) in alpacas and the failure of current ante-mortem testing protocols to identify TB-free alpaca herds and individuals for exportation. The tuberculin skin test (TST) failed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0284299
Abstract: Alpacas (Vicugna pacos) have physiologic adaptations to live at high altitude. These adaptations may result in unexpected responses to changes in cardiac performance and blood pressure during general anesthesia. There are few studies evaluating cardiovascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.03334
Abstract: Gut -associated microbes (‘gut microbiota’) impact the nutrition of their hosts, especially in ruminants and pseudoruminants that consume high-cellulose diets. Examples include the pseudoruminant alpaca. To better understand how body site and diet influence the… read more here.

Clinical and Histological Features of Ovarian Hypoplasia/Dysgenesis in Alpacas
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Veterinary Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.837684
Abstract: Alpacas have a high incidence of congenital reproductive tract abnormalities, including ovarian hypoplasia/dysgenesis. Diagnosis of this condition is often challenging. The present study describes the clinical, ultrasonographic, and histologic features of ovarian hypoplasia/dysgenesis syndrome in… read more here.
