In llama and alpaca are occasionally interbred, producing an animal with longer but coarser fibre length than Alpaca. These are known as Huarizo. Using artificial insemination between o...

Cerebrospinal Nematodiasis in 20 Camelids

BACKGROUND Information about the clinical and clinicopathologic aspects of cerebrospinal nematodiasis (CN) in camelids is limited. HYPOTHESIS Clinical and therapeutic variables will be identified as factors predictive of survival. ANIMALS Client-owned camelids suspected of having CN admitted to Purdue University between 1995 and 2015. METHODS A retrospective study was performed. A diagnos...
