Acute fasciolosis in an alpaca: a case report

BMC Veterinary Research, 2021
Background The popularity of new world camelids, particularly alpacas, is growing rapidly in Ireland, presenting a clinical challenge to veterinary practitioners who may not have worked with these species previously.

A novel framework to quantify uncertainty in peptide-tandem mass spectrum matches with application to nanobody peptide identification [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Nanobodies are small antibody fragments derived from camelids that selectively bind to antigens. These proteins have marked physicochemical properties that support advanced therapeutics, including treatments for SARS-CoV-2. To realize their potential, bottom-up proteomics via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been proposed ...

Evaluation of insulin secretion and action in New World camelids

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2013
Abstract Objective—To measure and compare insulin secretion and sensitivity in healthy alpacas and llamas via glucose clamping techniques. Animals—8 llamas and 8 alpacas. Procedures—Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamping (HEC) and hyperglycemic clamping (HGC) were performed on each camelid in a crossover design with a minimum 48-hour washout period ...

Methane emission by Camelids [PDF]

, 2014
Methane emissions from ruminant livestock have been intensively studied in order to reduce contribution to the greenhouse effect. Ruminants were found to produce more enteric methane than other mammalian herbivores.

Using modern reproductive methods to hybridize old and new world Camelids : Camelus dromedarius x Lama guanicoe

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2000
A group of nine female and one male guanaco were maintained alongside a larger herd of dromedary camels at the Camel Reproduction Centre in Dubai. The ovaries of the female guanacos and camels were scanned regularly, and when they exhibited a dominant ...

Nucleotide diversity of functionally different groups of immune response genes in Old World camels based on newly annotated and reference-guided assemblies

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Immune-response (IR) genes have an important role in the defense against highly variable pathogens, and therefore, diversity in these genomic regions is essential for species’ survival and adaptation.

Sequence-Based Nanobody-Antigen Binding Prediction [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Nanobodies (Nb) are monomeric heavy-chain fragments derived from heavy-chain only antibodies naturally found in Camelids and Sharks. Their considerably small size (~3-4 nm; 13 kDa) and favorable biophysical properties make them attractive targets for recombinant production.

Prairie Rattlesnake Envenomation in 27 New World Camelids

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2013
BackgroundMorbidity and case fatality from rattlesnake envenomation is regionally specific because of variability in relative toxicity of the species of snake encountered. A previous report of rattlesnake envenomation inNewWorld camelids (NWC) from the western coastalUnitedStates documented high case fatality rates and guarded prognosis for survival ...

Dysuria due to discospondylitis and intervertebral disc herniation in a male alpaca (Vicugna pacos) [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Dysuria in camelids is usually associated with the presence of lower urinary tract disease such as urolithiasis. As another differential diagnosis, urine retention may be caused by neurological disturbances resulting from infections of the ...

How many large camelids in the world? A synthetic analysis of the world camel demographic changes

Pastoralism, 2020
At world level, the current official number of large camelids cannot be determined exactly (it is estimated to be more than 35 million heads), and the role of camels in the livestock economy is highly variable.
