Hybrid assembly with long and short reads improves discovery of gene family expansions [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2017
BACKGROUND: Long-read and short-read sequencing technologies offer competing advantages for eukaryotic genome sequencing projects. Combinations of both may be appropriate for surveys of within-species genomic variation.

Cranial Arterial Perfusion of the Tympanic Bullae Region in Llamas (Lama glama): Anatomic Features and Anomalies. [PDF]

Anat Histol Embryol
ABSTRACT The tympanic bulla of South American camelids is a unique multi‐compartmental structure with an internal architecture resembling that of honeycomb. This unique configuration creates surgical challenges for the treatment of refractory otitis media cases in llamas (Lama glama).

The ALPACA Project [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
We have started up the ALPACA (Andes Large area PArticle detector for Cosmic ray physics and Astronomy) project. The ALPACA experiment is composed of an 83,000 m2 air shower array and a 5,400 m2 underground muon detector array to make wide field-of-view high-sensitivity observations of high-energy cosmic rays/cosmic gamma rays on the Cerro Estuqueria ...

Alimentary necrobacillosis in alpacas [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2020
Ulcers of the oral cavity, esophagus, and gastric compartments of South American camelids are uncommon. Multifocal-to-coalescing ulcers were identified in the oral cavity, esophagus, and/or gastric compartments of 5 alpacas submitted for postmortem examination. Fusobacterium necrophorum was isolated from the lesions in all alpacas, in combination with

ASPECTS OF REPRODUCTION IN THE ALPACA [PDF]

Reproduction, 1968
Summary. The alpaca, Lama pacos, does not have regular oestrous cycles, but oestrus lasts for 21 to 36 days during the breeding season. Ovulation is induced by coitus. Follicular ovulation rupture occurs spontaneously 26 hr after coital stimulation and can be induced by a single injection of hcg. The low fertility observed in this species is considered

Thermoregulation of alpacas bred in Italy [PDF]

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2010
The present study monitored daily and seasonal variations of rectal temperature in response to different environmental temperatures in alpacas bred in the Italian Apennines at 300 m a.s.l. In each season, the rectal temperature of 33 clinically healthy alpacas was measured three times/day (morning, midday, afternoon).

Pathology of coccidioidomycosis in llamas and alpacas [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2018
Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal disease caused by either Coccidioides immitis or Coccidioides posadasii. Anecdotal evidence suggests that camelids are particularly susceptible to this disease and that a relatively large percentage of pneumonias in these animals are caused by Coccidioides spp.
