[First detection of "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemolamae" in South American Camelids of Switzerland and evaluation of prevalence]

, 2010
Haemotrophic mycoplasmas (also known as haemoplasmas), small bacterias which parasite the surface of erythrocytes, have been described in several species. Recently, molecular methods were developed for the diagnosis of haemoplasma infection.

Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing

A Versatile Multiplexed Immunofluorescence Strategy for Efficient, Host‐Independent, and Scalable Spatial Protein Profiling

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Crowding‐enhanced multiplex immunofluorescence (umIF) provides a versatile strategy for scalable spatial profiling in FFPE tissues. By improving labeling efficiency across direct, one‐step, and two‐step IF formats, umIF enables host‐species‐independent use of primary antibodies and antibody–nanobody complexes, detection of weak targets, and multicycle ...

Effect of the Camelid’s Seminal Plasma Ovulation-Inducing Factor/β-NGF: A Kisspeptin Target Hypothesis

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017
Female mammals are classified into spontaneous and induced ovulators based on the mechanism eliciting ovulation. Ovulation in spontaneous species (e.g., human, sheep, cattle, horse, pigs, and most rodents) occurs at regular intervals and depends upon the

Nanoantibodies: small molecules, big possibilities

BioTechnologia, 2021
Camelids (camels, dromedaries, alpacas, llamas, and vicuñas) contain in their serum conventional heterodimeric antibodies as well as antibodies with no light chains (L) in their structure and composed of only heavy chains (H), called as HcAbs (heavy ...

Evaluation of a non‐radioactive rapid test for determination of serum progesterone in South American camelids

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Determination of the serum progesterone (P4) concentration is of high importance in reproductive medicine and may be applied for diagnosing pregnancy in South American camelids. P4 measurements in alpacas and llamas are usually performed using immunoassays, which are time consuming and require appropriate expertise of laboratory ...
