Eimeria macusaniensis Infection in New World Camelids
نویسنده
چکیده
Eimeria macusaniensis is an important coccidian intestinal parasite of New World camelids. It may be the same parasite as E. camelli, a similar-appearing intestinal coccidian of Old World camels, but this has not been proven. E. macusaniensis affects all ages of camelid, not just juveniles. Its contribution to illness may not be appreciated, since some camelids become sick up to two weeks before patent infections are detected in their herdmates. Gross lesions are often absent, and histologic lesions can be so segmental that they are missed on routine necropsy.

متن کاملBovine Viral Diarrhea-an Emerging Disease in Camelids a Review
Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) is an emerging disease in both New World Camelids (NWCs) and Old World Camelids (OWCs). The virus has been isolated from NWCs particularly in alpacas and dromedaries, but there are no reports of BVD in Bactrians. BVD is an important infectious disease. Both sub-genotypes 1a, 1b and genotype 2 have been isolated from NWCs but the ncp BVDV 1b is primarily implicated in...
