Mitochondrial DNA Variation and Systematics of the Guanaco (Lama guanicoe, Artiodactyla: Camelidae) [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2008
Guanacos (Lama guanicoe) are the most important native herbivorous species in the South American steppes and the dominant ungulate in a fauna rich in rodents but poor in large mammal species. Between 2 and 4 subspecies are usually recognized within Lama guanicoe, based on subtle morphological differences and geographic distribution. To evaluate whether

Seroprevalence of Neospora caninum in Camelids of the New and Old World: A Global Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Based on the present systematic review and meta‑analysis, the pooled prevalence of N. caninum in camelids was 10% (95% CI: 7%–12%) with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 93.75%, p < 0.0001). The highest rate was detected in Old World camelids, 14% (95% CI: 10%–19%), indicating that this group is more susceptible to N. caninum exposure.

Bluetongue Virus Serotype 3 Follow-Up of the 2024 Outbreak in Two Belgian Zoos. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
In summer 2024, Western Europe experienced extensive outbreaks of bluetongue virus Serotype 3 (BTV‐3), a Culicoides‐borne orbivirus. Clinical disease was first detected in August 2024 in one of two Belgian zoos, predominantly affecting European bison (Bison bonasus) and American bison (Bison bison).

Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential. [PDF]

Chembiochem
With the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and

Density but not climate affects the population growth rate of guanacos ( Lama guanicoe) (Artiodactyla, Camelidae). [PDF]

F1000Res, 2013
We analyzed the effects of population density and climatic variables on the rate of population growth in the guanaco ( Lama guanicoe ), a wild camelid species in South America. We used a time series of 36 years (1977-2012) of population sampling in Tierra del Fuego, Chile.

Sarcoptic mange in a guanaco (<i>Lama guanicoe</i>) of northwestern Argentina: Clinical, histopathological and molecular studies. [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl
Sarcoptic mange, caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is a highly contagious and potentially fatal skin disease that affects a wide range of mammals, including South American Camelids (SAC). Although the presence of mange has been described in vicuñas and llamas in northwestern Argentina, there are no previous records documenting its presence in ...

Sexual and Age‐Related Morphological Variations in the Pelvis of Lama guanicoe guanicoe (Artiodactyla: Camelidae)

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study explores the scope of sexual and age‐related discrimination in the hemipelvises of Lama guanicoe guanicoe (Müller 1776), a species that lacks postcranial secondary sexual characteristics. Using two‐dimensional geometric morphometric techniques, changes in shape and size of the coxae bones from 50 individuals of both sexes and varying ...

Sweating in the guanaco (Lama guanicoe)

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2001
Sweat glands are present all over the skin, where sweat production varies from 4.98 to 73.36gm(-2)h(-1) of skin. Ambient temperatures between 20 and 33 degrees C are the main stimuli for activation of sweat glands, generating a heat loss ranging from 11.9 to 37% of standing basal metabolic rate.
