An alpaca nanobody neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 by blocking receptor interaction
Nature Communications, 2020 SARS-CoV-2 enters host cells through an interaction between the spike glycoprotein and the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Directly preventing this interaction presents an attractive possibility for suppressing SARS-CoV-2 replication ...

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
