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...

Hyperkeratotic skin conditions in New World camelids include chronic mite infestation, zinc-responsive dermatosis, ichthyosis, and idiopathic necrolytic neutrophilic hyperkeratosis (INNH, also known as “munge”). Although these disorders are relatively uncommon, clinical signs may be severe and aesthetics may negatively impact the value of animals used for production. Hyperkeratotic lesions are ...

The heavy chain fraction present in Camelidae antibodies is so-called nanobodies. They have different characteristics when compared to immunoglobulin G, like more diminutive size, higher affinity, shorter half-life serum, etc. These proteins are codified by B lymphocytes cDNAs and can be produced hosts Escherichia Coli, Pichia Pastoris, plant cells even insect cells. Andean camelids been mainly...

Neurologic disease in New World camelids (NWCs) is common, but the available literature regarding these diseases is fairly scarce given the relatively new introduction of camelids into the veterinary community. As NWC practice expands and more research is conducted to better understand these unique animals and their diseases, our ability to diagnose and treat neurologic conditions will likely i...

<span lang="EN-US">Due to the events caused by COVID-19, several activities were paralyzed, such as export of camelids. In present study, it was observed that many camelids are located in highest Andes, exposed diseases originate from climatic changes or infrastructure which they inhabiting. For this reason, veterinary mobile application for implemented, will help care well sanitary contr...
