Serological investigation on Sarcocystis spp. infection and associated risk factors in South American camelids in Italy. [PDF]

Parasitol Res
Protozoa of the genus Sarcocystis have an obligate two-host-prey-predator life cycle, in which South American Camelids (SAC) are among the intermediate hosts for certain species. Sarcocystis spp. infection has been well documented in SAC in endemic areas

Seasonal dynamics, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic lineages of thermotolerant <i>Campylobacter</i> isolates from South American camelids. [PDF]

Sci One Health
Background South American camelids (SACs) are increasingly kept as companion animals, but their role in zoonotic transmission is poorly understood. Thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. are a leading cause of bacterial zoonoses globally.

Management of South American camelids in the eastern Andes of Northwestern Argentina: a comparative study of archaeological cases in the last two millennia

Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology
Human-camelid interactions were an essential component in the everyday life of the societies that inhabited the South and Central Andes. While numerous studies have concentrated on this topic, they have primarily focused on the Puna plateaus, where ...
