Identification of genomic regions associated with differences in fleece type in Huacaya and Suri alpacas (Vicugna pacos). [PDF]
The difference in fleece type is the distinguishing trait between the two types of alpacas (Vicugna pacos), Huacaya and Suri. The Suri fleece type has been found to be inherited dominantly over the Huacaya type, resulting in offspring with the Suri ...

Inheritance of fibre colour in alpacas: identifying the genes involved [PDF]
, 2015 There is no current theory that fully explains the genetic mechanisms of fibre colour inheritance in alpacas. My PhD project analysed three genes, MC1R, ASP and Tyrp1, previously identified as key genes controlling pigment determination in mammals. This

Hematologic parameters in female alpacas during age progression: a retrospective study
Scientific ReportsAlpacas, like all camelids, have elliptical red blood cells (RBCs) in contrast to other mammals. This particular shape is important for increased osmotic resistance and stability.

Angular Limb Deformity in Llamas and Alpacas
, 2009 Angular limb deformities (ALD) are common among llamas and alpacas. Veterinarians most commonly are asked to examine growing neonates for skeletal abnormalities, but these defects are not uncommon among adult llamas and alpacas.
