Prediction of gestational age by ultrasonic fetometry in llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Lama pacos) [PDF]
Fetal biparietal diameter (BPD) and thorax height (TH) were measured by ultrasound during intrauterine growth in pregnant llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Lama pacos). The goal was to establish representative curves that allows estimation of gestational age (GA) from real-time ultrasonic measurements of these fetal structures at any stage of gestation.

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