| [seroprevalence of viral infections in llamas (lama glama) in the republic of argentina]. | this study reports the seroprevalence of bovine viral infections in llamas (lama glama) in argentina. this is the first study made in the country including 390 llamas and testing antibodies against eight viruses. samples were collected from nine farms distributed in three different provinces: buenos aires, córdoba and jujuy. the samples were tested for antibodies against eight viruses known to infect cattle: bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1), bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv), bovine adenovirus ... | 1997 | 9229724 |
| serological survey of viral antibodies in llamas (lama glama) in argentina. | this study analysed sera from 390 llamas (lama glama) from nine farms located in three different argentine provinces: buenos aires, cordoba and jujuy. the samples were tested for antibodies against 8 virus known to infect cattle: bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1), bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv), bovine adenovirus (badv iii), bovine enterovirus (bev), bovine rotavirus (brv), bluetongue virus (btv), bovine leukaemia virus (blv), and foot-and-mouth virus (fmdv) by conventional methods such as s ... | 1999 | 10337237 |
| seroprevalence of neospora caninum, toxoplasma gondii and sarcocystis sp. in llamas (lama glama) from jujuy, argentina. | llamas (lama glama) are south american camelids described as intermediate hosts of neospora caninum, toxoplasma gondii and sarcocystis aucheniae. due to the potential role of these protozoan infections as a cause of economic losses, the aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence for t. gondii, n. caninum and sarcocystis sp. in llamas from argentina. serum samples from 308 llamas (>2 years old) were collected between 2005 and 2007. a total of 55 farms located in six departments of juju ... | 2008 | 18495344 |
| [identification of immunoreactive antigens of leptospira interrogans]. | a batch of 28 llama (lama gama) sera from jujuy province in argentina was studied in order to identify immune reactive antigens to leptospira interrogans. different antigenic preparations from the bacterium were used to study the immune reactivity by the microagglutination (mat), elisa and western immunoblot tests. a control pool of positive bovine sera was used. all the llama sera were negative to mat as well as to elisa. two of the llama sera and the positive bovine sera pool rendered positive ... | 2009 | 19831309 |
| antibodies to pathogenic livestock viruses in a wild vicuña (vicugna vicugna) population in the argentinean andean altiplano. | serum samples from 128 wild vicuñas (vicugna vicugna) were tested for antibodies (ab) to rotavirus (rv), bovine parainfluenza virus 3 (bpiv-3), bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1), bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv-1), foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv), bluetongue virus (btv), equine herpesvirus-1 (ehv-1), and influenza a virus equine (eiv). samples were collected in cieneguillas province of jujuy, in northern argentina. feces from 44 vicuñas were also collected to investigate rv shedding. llamas (la ... | 2010 | 20688660 |
| [serological survey of antibodies against viral diseases of public health interest in llamas (lama glama) from jujuy province, argentina]. | llama population from argentina is mainly concentrated in the andean puna, jujuy. llamas represent an important economic resource for the andean communities. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of antibodies against viral antigens associated to viral diseases of economic impact (neonatal diarrhea, reproductive and respiratory syndromes). a total of 349 serum samples from adult llamas were analyzed. the obtained antibody prevalence was 100 % for rotavirus a and 70 % for bovine ... | 2014 | 24721276 |
| lamanema chavezi (nematoda: molineidae): epidemiological data of the infection in south american camelids of northwest argentina. | faecal samples from llamas (n=708), vicuñas (n=171) and guanacos (n=4) were obtained between december 2004 and may 2009 in three provinces of northwest argentina (jujuy, salta and catamarca) to know the distribution, prevalence and intensity of lamanema chavezi infection in these south american camelid species (sacs). faeces were examined by a sedimentation-flotation technique using a cl(2)zn+clna solution (specific gravity=1.59). eggs of l. chavezi occurred in 30.3% of 89 llama herds and in 18. ... | 2009 | 19819627 |
| ciliate protozoa of the forestomach of llamas (lama glama) from locations <br />at different altitude in argentina. | this study describes the diversity and concentration of the protozoal population from the forestomach of llamas in argentina at three altitudinal locations. protozoal diversity was studied in samples from eight llamas from hurlingham (buenos aires, 43 m altitude), four from tilcara (jujuy, 2465 m altitude) and six llamas from cieneguillas (jujuy, 3800 m altitude). the total concentrations of protozoa in the forestomach contents were 7.9, 9.1 and 4.1 cells x 10<sup>4</sup> ml<sup>-1</sup> in hurl ... | 2016 | 27395861 |
