MULTIPLE TRICHOEPITHELIOMAS IN AN ALPACA (LAMA PACOS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2005
A 13-yr-old male Alpaca (Lama pacos) presented with multiple ovoid, well-circumscribed, nonulcerated intradermal masses. Individual masses measured 1-4 cm in diameter, and the overlying skin was alopecic. Several of the masses were surgically removed and evaluated microscopically.

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF ATLANTOOCCIPITAL LUXATION IN AN ALPACA (LAMA PACOS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2006
A 7-mo-old male alpaca (Lama pacos) presented with an abnormal lowered posture of the head and neck and reluctance to walk. Cervical radiographs demonstrated atlantooccipital luxation. Successful manual closed reduction was achieved while the animal was anesthetized, resulting in complete return to normal gait and posture.

SURGICAL CORRECTION OF A CORNEAL PERFORATION IN AN ALPACA (LAMA PACOS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2005
Likely because of trauma, an adult alpaca (Lama pacos) sustained a corneal perforation with a prolapsed iris. Because of the severity of the lesion, a pedicle conjunctival graft was performed. The structural integrity of the cornea was reestablished, and 10 mo postoperatively, the affected eye appeared to have good vision and only a small corneal scar ...

The Parotid Saliva of the Alpaca (Lama pacos)

Research in Veterinary Science, 1974
The flow rate and composition of the parotid secretion was studied in 5 alpacas at 3 different periods; prefeediug, feeding and postfeeding. Prefeeding saliva was secreted at a rate of 140 ml/h, this saliva showed a pH of 8.6, 121 mEq/l of HCO3−, 33.5 mEq/l of HPO4−, 164.8 mEq/l of Na+ and 13.7 mEq/l of K+.

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.
