Layer‐by‐layer soft‐tissue effects on flexion–extension‐dominant passive ex vivo limb joint ROM in quadrupedal mammals: An anatomical contribution to a morphofunctional framework

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Layer‐by‐layer passive ex vivo assessment of flexion–extension‐dominant limb joint ROM across rabbit, pudu deer, chilla fox and pig revealed joint‐, tissue‐ and taxon‐specific responses to progressive tissue removal. Proximal joints often showed increasing ROM, whereas distal joints often showed non‐monotonic responses.

Neonatal diarrhea in llamas and alpacas

open access: yesSmall Ruminant Research, 2006
Diarrhea is an important cause of morbidity in neonatal llamas and alpacas. Diarrhea may be multifactorial in etiology including management and nutritional factors as well as a variety of pathogens. Most of the pathogens involved affect other livestock species and some have host-adapted strains.

Comparing the coherent point drift algorithm to sliding semilandmark and weighted spherical harmonic whole‐bone three‐dimensional shape analyses

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The coherent point drift (CPD) algorithm is a technique for registering two point clouds based on the Gaussian Mixture Model that can be used to position semilandmarks for use in a geometric morphometric analysis across a range of morphologies. The algorithm employs an interative process through which the template specimen is deformed to match the ...

Stress of alpacas caused by shearing in Hungary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Alpacas are primarily kept for their wool in Hungary. Huacaya alpacas are sheared annually, usually in May, before the summer heat. Shearing is important to breeders because the wool is the primary product of the animal. However, it is important also for

Molecular identification of Cryptosporidium spp. in alpacas (Vicugna pacos) in China

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Cryptosporidium is a ubiquitous protozoan in human and animals. To investigate the genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. in alpaca (Vicugna pacos) in China, 484 fecal samples from alpacas were collected at nine sites, and Cryptosporidium spp.
