Immunohistochemical Characterization of Lymphosarcoma in Two Alpacas (Lama pacos)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2002
Species cross-reactive anti-peptide antibodies were assessed in formalin-fixed tissue for use in immunophenotyping of lymphosarcoma in two alpacas. Diagnosis of lymphosarcoma was made by routine histopathological examination. Primary antibodies used for immunophenotyping were anti-human CD3 and anti-human CD5 for T cells; and anti-human CD79a and anti ...

Effects of parasitic infestation on the productivity of alpacas (Lama pacos)

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 1992
A trial was carried out in alpacas (Lama pacos) to determine the economic benefit of controlling both external and internal parasites using ivermectin (Ivomec, Merck, Sharpe and Dohme). After four months the treated male alpacas had gained on average 3.1 kg more than the untreated males and their fleece weighed 0.36 kg more.

Johne's disease in alpacas (Lama pacos) in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1995
SUMMARY: Johne's disease was diagnosed in 10 alpacas (Lama pacos) in Australia between February 1993 and May 1994. Eight of the animals were between 12 and 24 months of age, one was a 6‐year‐old female, and one was a 4‐year‐old male. Five, including the 6‐year‐old and the 4‐year‐old alpacas, showed weight loss and diarrhoea before death or slaughter ...

Meat and carcass quality from Peruvian llama (Lama glama) and alpaca (Lama pacos)

Meat Science, 2004
An experiment based on 20 llama males and 40 alpaca males reared in Peru has been carried out with the aim to evaluate the live growth performances, carcass quality, the nutritional characteristics of meat from animals slaughtered at 25 months of age, and to determine the physical and chemical parameters of meat obtained from these animals.

Intraocular pressure in normal llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Lama pacos)

Veterinary Ophthalmology, 2000
Objective:To determine the mean intraocular pressure in llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Lama pacos) using applanation tonometry.Animals studied:Ten llamas and 10 alpacas.Procedures:Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured with a Tono‐Pen™ XL (Mentor Ophthalmics, Inc., Norwell, MA, USA). Three values, with 5% variance, were recorded for each eye.

The pharmacokinetics of topical doramectin in llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Lama pacos)

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2004
There are many factors (i.e. renal physiology, hepatic metabolism, etc.) between species that could lead to modifications in the pharmacokinetics and thus possibly changes in the therapeutic interval of a compound (Short, 1994). The dosage regimens in New World camelids is often determined with little information regarding the pharmacokinetics or ...

Tenderness evaluation and mineral levels of llama (Lama glama) and alpaca (Lama pacos) meat

Meat Science, 2007
Tenderness and mineral levels were determined in the Longissimus thoracis taken from 20 llama and 30 alpaca males reared in Peru and slaughtered at 25 months of age. Mineral contents were determined using an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer.

Pharmacokinetics of intravenously administered caffeine in healthy alpacas (Lama pacos) and llamas (Lama glama)

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2006
Abstract Objective—To determine the pharmacokinetic disposition of IV administered caffeine in healthy Lama spp camelids. Animals—4 adult male alpacas and 4 adult female llamas. Procedures—Caffeine (3 mg/kg) was administered as an IV bolus. Plasma caffeine concentrations were determined by use of high-performance liquid chromatography in 6 animals and ...

Coccidia (Protozoa: Eimeriidae) of the Alpaca Lama pacos*

The Journal of Protozoology, 1967
SYNOPSIS. Three new species of coccidia are described from the alpaca Lama pacos from Peru. These are the first species of coccidia to be named from this host. The oocysts of Eimeria lamae n. sp. are ellipsoidal, occasionally ovoid, 30–40 by 21–30 μ (mean 35.6 by 24.5 μ) with elongate ovoid sporocysts 13–16 by 8–10 μ (mean 15.3 by 8.5 μ).
