Actinobacillosis in an alpaca (Lama pacos)

New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1992
The death of a 6-week-old alpaca being treated for acute polyarthritis is described. Post-mortem and histological findings included fibrinous mural endocarditis, lung abscessation, acute passive congestion of the liver, embolic suppurative nephritis and chronic nonsuppurative polyarthritis.

Ultrastructural observations on the placenta of the alpaca (Lama pacos)

Placenta, 1980
The alpaca is one of the four South American species of the family Camelidae. Its placenta, like that of other camelids, is diffuse and epitheliochorial in type. The chorionic epithelium is thrown into unbranched villi or folds which are closely apposed to corresponding undulations of the uterine epithelium, and the fetal-maternal interface consists of

Mapping of CGRP in the alpaca (Lama pacos) brainstem

Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 2008
In this study, we demonstrate the presence of immunoreactive structures containing calcitonin gene-related peptide in the alpaca brainstem. This is the first time that a detailed mapping of the cell bodies and fibers containing this neuropeptide in the alpaca brainstem has been carried out using an immunocytochemical technique.

Invasive aspergillosis in an alpaca (Lama pacos)

Medical Mycology, 1989
An invasive form of aspergillosis in an alpaca (Lama pacos) is described, with dissemination causing small abscesses and multifocal areas of necrosis in the lung, heart, spleen and kidneys. Histological sections showed hyphae morphologically compatible with an Aspergillus species.

Mapping of Neurotensin in the Alpaca (Lama pacos) Brainstem

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2013
We studied the distribution of cell bodies and fibres containing neurotensin (NT) in the brainstem of the alpaca using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. Immunoreactive fibres were widely distributed throughout the brainstem, whereas the distribution of cell bodies was less widespread.

Prenatal development of the alpaca (Lama pacos)

Animal Reproduction Science, 1993
Abstract The prenatal development of the alpaca was studied. An evaluation of the reproductive tract by rectal palpation was described throughout pregnancy. Forty-eight embryos/fetuses were collected from a similar number of pregnant females at La Raya research station, in Cusco, Peru. Fetal data were analyzed by least squares regression.

Borna Disease in an Adult Alpaca Stallion (Lama pacos)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2010
Borna disease (BD) was diagnosed in a 2-year-old male alpaca with a history of chronic suppressed sexual desire and acute stretching convulsions. Microscopical examination of the central nervous system revealed non-purulent meningoencephalitis with mononuclear perivascular cuffing.

Electrocardiographic parameters of normal alpacas ( Lama pacos )

Veterinary Record, 2005
The electrocardiographic parameters of 40 healthy alpacas ( Lama pacos ) were recorded with a base‐apex lead system to establish the normal resting electrocardiographic parameters in this species. The following parameters were measured: heart rate and rhythm, QRS

Early pregnancy diagnosis in alpaca (Lama pacos) and llama (Lama glama) by ultrasound

Animal Reproduction Science, 1997
An ultrasonography study of early pregnancy diagnosis was carried out in 19 alpacas and 12 llamas, after controlled matings. The aim was to determine the earliest gestational age at which pregnancy diagnosis by transrectal ultrasonography could be achieved, and to generate an empirical formula for gestational sac diameter (GSD) growth as a function of ...

Diabetes mellitus in an adult alpaca ( Lama pacos )

Veterinary Record, 2005
SEVERAL research papers have recently evaluated glucosemetabolism in South American camelids (Araya and others2000, Cebra and others 2001a, b). Before this research, littlewas known about glucose metabolism and insulin respon-siveness in these animals.
