Severe hyperglycaemia associated with prolonged isoflurane anaesthesia in an alpaca (Vicugna pacos)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Alpacas possess distinct glucose and insulin regulatory mechanisms compared with other species, often maintaining higher baseline blood glucose as a normal physiological adaptation. Inhalant anaesthetic agents can further disrupt glucose, insulin and potassium homeostasis, particularly during prolonged procedures.

Challenges and opportunities in mitigating sarcoptic mange in wild South American camelids

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
Wild South American camelids—vicuña and guanaco—face threats from sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease linked to severe population declines. Despite its impact, major gaps remain in understanding disease dynamics. This review summarizes current knowledge, identifies key data and management gaps, and outlines urgent actions for effective ...

Malignant Hyperthermia in Alpaca (Vicugna pacos)

Acta Scientiae Veterinariae
Background: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a metabolic myopathy that affects several species, including humans; it occurs because of a sudden increase in calcium in the muscle fibers in genetically susceptible individuals. In camelids, such as alpacas, it is related to heat stress, caused, for example, by an environment with high temperatures. However,

Transboundary Animal Diseases Associated With Cross‐Border Camel Movement. A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Transboundary animal diseases (TADs) are contagious diseases that significantly impact livestock health, public health and economic stability. In regions with frequent cross‐border trade and transhumance involving camels, particularly the Middle East and Africa, TADs pose a heightened One Health risk due to their zoonotic potential and capacity to ...

Same data, different results? Machine learning approaches in bioacoustics

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1574-1586, August 2025.
Abstract Automated acoustic analysis is increasingly used in behavioural ecology, and determining caller identity is a key element for many investigations. However, variability in feature extraction and classification methods limits the comparability of results across species and studies, constraining conclusions we can draw about the ecology and ...

On the Lack of Domestic Dogs in Pre‐Columbian Lowland Amazonia and Their Deep History of Entanglements With Humans in South America

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 30, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Data from archaeology, ethnography, and ethnohistory document entanglements of dogs among South American Indigenous societies during pre‐Columbian and colonial times. The prolific presence and uses of dogs in the Central Andes and in parts of the Paraná Basin, Patagonia, and Circum‐Caribbean regions contrast with the conspicuous lack of ...
