Abstract:
The breeding of South American Camelids (SACs), particularly llamas and alpacas, is becoming increasingly popular in regions that are not their natural habitat, including Europe. These animals are considered to be relatively disease resistant. However, due to their growing popularity, special attention should be given to infections in llamas and alpacas. Knowledge of bacterial infections is very important to veterinarians and breeders. Many of these diseases also have zoonotic potential, so these animals must be considered as sources of potential zoonotic infections. Due to the limited information on many diseases occurring in llamas and alpacas, veterinarians often rely on data collected in other animal species, focusing on cattle, sheep and horses. This work aims to summarise the knowledge of diseases caused by Clostridium spp., Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, Streptococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Pasteurella multocida, Manheimia haemolytica and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis in llamas and alpacas, with particular attention to epidemiology, clinical signs and diagnostics.
摘要:
南美骆驼科动物(SACs)的繁殖,尤其是美洲驼和羊驼,在非自然栖息地的地区越来越受欢迎,包括欧洲。这些动物被认为是相对抗病的。然而,由于他们越来越受欢迎,应特别注意美洲驼和羊驼的感染。细菌感染的知识对兽医和饲养员非常重要。这些疾病中的许多也具有人畜共患的潜力,因此,这些动物必须被视为潜在的人畜共患感染的来源。由于有关美洲驼和羊驼中发生的许多疾病的信息有限,兽医通常依赖于其他动物物种收集的数据,专注于牛,羊和马。这项工作旨在总结梭状芽胞杆菌引起的疾病的知识。,结核分枝杆菌复合体,鸟分枝杆菌亚种。副结核病,链球菌属。,大肠杆菌,多杀性巴氏杆菌,羊驼和羊驼的溶血曼海姆菌和假结核棒状杆菌,特别关注流行病学,临床体征和诊断。
