Abstract：
To expand the knowledge about common diseases in llamas and alpacas in Germany, a screening of the cases of South American camelids presented at the Clinic for Swine and Small Ruminants of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Germany from 2005 to the end of November 2021 was performed. A retrospective evaluation of necropsy reports from this period was conducted. Overall, necropsy reports were evaluated from 187 alpacas, 35 llamas and one vicuña (n = 223). A total of 50.2% of the dissected animals were thin or cachectic. Pathological alterations of the gastrointestinal tract were the most common findings (44.8%). In addition, liver changes were recorded, most frequently in adult animals. In contrast, diseases of the respiratory tract and the nervous system were found more frequently in juvenile animals. This study provides an overview of common pathologies in South American camelids in Germany and thus may help to recognise different disease symptoms at an early stage.
摘要：
为了扩大有关德国美洲驼和羊驼常见疾病的知识，在汉诺威兽医大学的猪和小反刍动物诊所上对南美骆驼病例进行的筛查，德国从2005年到2021年11月底进行了演出。对这一时期的尸检报告进行了回顾性评估。总的来说,对187例羊驼的尸检报告进行了评估，35个美洲驼和一个维库尼亚（n=223）。总共50.2%的解剖动物是瘦的或恶病质的。胃肠道的病理改变是最常见的发现（44.8％）。此外,记录肝脏变化，最常见的是成年动物。相比之下,呼吸道和神经系统疾病在幼年动物中更为常见。这项研究概述了德国南美骆驼科的常见病理，因此可能有助于在早期识别不同的疾病症状。
