Fascioliasis in vicugna (Vicugna vicugna) in the central highlands of Peru
Revista de Investigaciones Veterinarias del Perú, 2016 The aim of this study was to determine the presence of F. hepatica eggs in vicugnas in the Paccha area, Junín, Peru, and to evaluate its association with sex and age. Samples (n=143) were collected from the rectum during a «chaccu» activity (annual capture of wild vicugnas by the local peasants for shearing (September).

Vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna), Wild Andean Altiplano Camelids [PDF]
Case Studies in the Environment, 2020 In these case studies, vicuñas are presented as biocultural components of the Andean altiplano’s socioecological landscape. The environmental history of vicuñas is related to the multiple values of the species, especially of its appreciated fiber as a nature contribution to people. Vicuñas were in risk of extinction, but thanks to conservation policies,

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.High‐fiber dietary interventions reshaped the gut microbiota of captive dromedaries with chronic recurrent diarrhea, but responses varied among individuals. Despite taxonomic shifts, microbial metabolic functions remained remarkably stable, supporting the resilience of the dromedary gut ecosystem and the use of fiber‐based dietary management.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We highlight an overlooked pathway in ecosystem functioning: the role of animal carcass decomposition in trace element cycling. By linking animal life cycles to landscape‐scale processes, we explain how large animals redistribute scarce elements and influence spatial heterogeneity, with implications for ecosystem functioning and restoration.

Journal of Ethology, 2018 The vicuna is a high Andean wild camelid that lives year-long in groups. We analyzed the social organization of 98 marked vicunas after capture and live shearing, focusing on group composition, spatial patterns, territoriality and habitat use. The social units analyzed were families, bachelor groups and solo animals.
