Seasonal changes in energy expenditure, body temperature and activity patterns in llamas (Lama glama) [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Mammals typically keep their body temperature (Tb) within a narrow limit with changing environmental conditions. There are indications that some wild ungulates can exhibit certain forms of energy saving mechanisms when ambient temperatures are low and/or

Effects of NGF Addition on Llama (Lama glama) Sperm Traits After Cooling [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
To provide new insights into the mechanisms through which seminal plasma proteins can protect sperm from damage caused during refrigeration, we evaluate the possibility that β-NGF can contribute to the improvement of sperm quality after cooling. First, β-

Multi-proxy analysis of El Olivar camelids (1,090-1,440 cal AD): Evaluating the presence of llamas (Lama glama, Linnaeus 1758) in the Semiarid North of Chile before the arrival of the Inca. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
To evaluate the presence of domesticated camelids in the Semiarid North of Chile (29°S) before the arrival of the Inca, we utilized a multidisciplinary approach to analyze 57 South American camelids that were part of the funerary contexts of the El ...

Effect of Cooling and Freezing on Llama (Lama glama) Sperm Ultrastructure [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Semen cryopreservation in South American camelids has a low efficiency. Post-thaw viability of sperm is low, and poor results are obtained when artificial insemination is performed with cryopreserved semen, impeding advances both in accelerated genetic ...

Isolation of Streptococcus agalactiae in a female llama (Lama glama) in South Tyrol (Italy) [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background Streptococcus agalactiae is pathogenic for both animals and humans. In dairy cattle it commonly causes mastitis, with great economic losses, and there is scientific evidence of mastitis, caseous lymphadenitis, contagious skin necrosis and ...

Effect of Three Semen Extenders on Sperm Quality and In Vitro Fertilization Rates of Fresh and Cryopreserved Sperm Collected from Llama (Lama glama) Vas Deferens [PDF]

Animals
The advances in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) applied in South American camelid species are still scarce. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three semen extenders, before and after the cryopreservation of spermatozoa obtained

A case of nasal myiasis due to Oestrus ovis (Diptera: Oestridae) in a llama (Lama glama) [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2013
Infection by the larval form of Oestrus ovis (sheep bot fly) is common in many areas of Peru. This is an obligate parasite of sheep and goats, and it is the cause of oestrosis, or nasal myiasis, which can lead to severe clinical manifestations in ...

Identification of Lama glama as Reservoirs for Acinetobacter lwoffii. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2017
South American Camelids have an increasing relevance in local economies, worldwide. These animals are bred for their meat, fur and as companion and therapy animals. Thus, their sanitary status should be well-established. According to the OIE (World Organization for Animal Health), respiratory infections mainly produced by Pasteurella spp.
