Enrofloxacin-Induced Retinopathy in a Guanaco (Lama guanicoe).
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2006A 4-yr-old male guanaco (Lama guanicoe) in a multispecies exhibit presented with a laceration in the axillary region. The laceration was surgically repaired. Medical treatment was initiated with penicillin G procaine and benzathine (1920 IU/kg, i.m., s.i.d. for 14 days), and enrofloxacin (2.4 mg/kg, i.m., s.i.d. for 14 days).

Systemic candidosis in a guanaco ( Lama guanicoe )
Veterinary Record, 2009Candida species are ubiquitous dimorphic fungi that normally inhabit the digestive, upper respiratory and urogenital tracts of various warm-blooded animals. They are also the aetiological agent of candidosis, which is usually caused by Candida albicans and generally occurs in immunocompromised ...

Thermal conductance of guanaco (Lama guanicoe) pelage
Journal of Thermal Biology, 2005Abstract 1. Guarded hot plate technique was used to measure thermal conductance of winter, summer and sheared pelts of Lama guanicoe. 2. Mean thermal conductance of winter and summer pelage was 1.64 W/m2 °C and 1.79 W/m2 °C, respectively. 3. Mean heat loss in natural pelage, in free convection conditions was 1.74 W/m2 °C and 2.3 W/m2 °C in sheared ...

Molecular characterization of the first isolation of rotavirus in guanacos (Lama guanicoe)
Archives of Virology, 2004Rotaviruses (RVs) are a major cause of neonatal diarrhoea in humans and numerous animal species. We report G-type, P-type and phylogenetic analysis of two RV strains isolated from newborn guanacos (Lama guanicoe) with acute diarrhoea in Argentina. Isolates were group A G8 RV.

Finding of polydactyly in a free-ranging guanaco (Lama guanicoe)
Small Ruminant Research, 2008Polydactylism, a genetic defect characterized by partial or complete duplication of the digit, has been described in a wide range of vertebrates. Among ungulates, polydactyly appears to be relatively common in domestic camelids, with reports in dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius), llama (Lama glama) and alpaca (Vicugna pacos). However, in wild South

Zooarqueología, Lama guanicoe, y dinámica evolutiva del Chaco Serrano
Este trabajo evalúa preliminarmente la sustentabilidad a lo largo del Holoceno de un sistema de subsistencia basado en la caza de Lama guanicoe. Se plantea que dadas las condiciones de aislamiento biogeográfico las poblaciones de estos animales en las Sierras de Córdoba serían sensibles a la predación humana y que una estrategia de subsistencia basada ...

Ovarian follicular dynamics and hormonal secretory profiles in guanacos (Lama guanicoe)
Animal Reproduction Science, 2010The objective of the present study was to describe ovarian activity in 11 adult non-mated guanacos, evaluated every second day for 40 days by transrectal ultrasonography and by plasma estradiol-17beta and progesterone concentrations. An inverse relationship (r = -0.29, P < 0.001) was observed between the diameter of the largest ovarian follicle and the

Sarcocystis sp. in guanaco (Lama guanicoe) and effect of temperature on its viability
Veterinary Parasitology, 1984The biology of the Sarcocystis sp. that infect guanacoes was studied by feeding the infected meat to dogs, cats, rats and mice. Tissues from guanaco, heavily infected with macrocysts, were fed to these animals and their faeces collected daily and examined for the presence or absence of sporocysts.

Daylight effect on melatonin secretion in adult female guanacos (Lama guanicoe)
Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2017ContentsThe wild South American camelids developed a strategy of seasonal reproduction during spring and summer with singleton birth. The photoperiod is one of the factors that may modulate this seasonality where light would be translated into a hormonal signal.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE METATARSAL FRACTURE REPAIR WITH LOCKING PLATES IN A GUANACO (LAMA GUANICOE)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2014An open grade I transverse diaphyseal fracture of the metatarsal bone in a 5-yr-old female guanaco (Lama guanicoe) was successfully stabilized with a locking plate system, which is a minimally invasive approach. A conical coupling screw-plate locking system with 3.0-mm-thick plates and 3.5-mm locking head screws was applied, after closed and indirect ...
