Fetal mortality diagnosis by ultrasound in the vicuña (Vicugna vicugna)
Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2003Ultrasonography is widely used in domestic species of camelids, but there is no information about the use of this technique for pregnancy diagnosis and determination of embryonic or fetal losses in the vicuña (Vicugna vicugna). The study was performed in 202 vicuñas (3-year-old females, n = 31; adult females, n = 171) mated during the summer months ...

Biometric characteristics in vicuñas (Vicugna Vicugna mensalis)
Small Ruminant Research, 2019Abstract The objectives were to determine the phenotypic correlations between biometric characteristics and obtain predictive functions of vicuna body weight (BW) at shearing. Measurements were recorded in 69 males and 119 females in the area of influence of the Campesino Community of Huachocolpa, Huancavelica region of Peru, during the annual ...

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2020
State-dependent foraging theory posits that animals should make foraging decisions based on energetic condition, where animals with fewer energetic reserves prioritize foraging over other behaviors, including antipredator behaviors. However, few studies have investigated these trade-offs at an individual level in wild, free-ranging animals.

Fibre characteristics of vicuña (Vicugna vicugna mensalis)
Small Ruminant Research, 2010Abstract Characteristics of body and fleece weight, and fleece and fibre quality were evaluated in vicunas ( Vicugna vicugna mensalis ) captured for live shearing in Huancavelica, Peru. A total of 305 animals were weighted and shorn between 2003 and 2008. Fibre samples from 104 animals shorn in 2008 were analysed using optical fibre diameter analyser

Follicular activity and hormonal secretory profile in vicuna (Vicugna vicugna)
Theriogenology, 2004The objective of the present study was to characterize ovarian activity in non-mated vicunas, relating ovarian structures (evaluated by transrectal ultrasonography, daily for 30 days) to changes in plasma concentrations of estradiol-17beta and progesterone.

One animal of each sex (Catskill Game Farm, Catskill, New York, USA) was studied by the lymphocyte technique. Many elements are difficult to classify (subtelocentrics or acrocentrics); however, the karyotypes are similar to other camelidae published in that seven pairs of small metacentric chromosomes can readily be distinguished.

Sarcoptic mange in vicuña ( Vicugna vicugna ) population in Peru
Veterinary Record, 2013The vicuna ( Vicugna vicugna ) is a wild South American camelid (SAC) that inhabits the highlands of South America between 3200 and 4700 m above sea level, and is distributed in the following five countries: Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Ecuador (Marin and others 2007, Wheeler and Hoces 1997).

The vicuna (Vicugna vicugna) as a natural host of Dictyocaulus filaria in Peru
Parasitology InternationalLungworm infection, or verminous pneumonia, is a parasitic disease that causes serious problems in small and large ruminants. Despite the fact that nematodes of the genus Dictyocaulus in cattle and sheep are the main cause of this disease, there are few studies on the natural infections of South American camelids.
