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

Vet Med Sci
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.

Social group dynamics and composition of managed wild vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna vicugna) in Jujuy, Argentina

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.

Energy balance of pregnant vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna) in the Chilean High Andes [PDF]

Austral Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2019
Energy unbalance may be the cause of low fertility rates found in vicuñas. The objective of this study was to estimate the temporal variation of the nutritional status in pregnant vicuñas from a herd kept under captivity in the Chilean High Andes.
