Infecção por Corynebacterium equi em Lhama ( Lama glama )
1975
The infection of C. equi in a adult female llama maintained in the Brasilia zoo, has been described. The general symptoms of the disease were initially masked by a previous ocular affection. Then, marked respiratory disturbances became evident before the animal died. Post mortem findings revealed multiple abscesses, varying is size and disseminated in both lungs. There were also miliary foci in liver and spleen. C . equi was isolated in pure culture from the yellowish caseous pus . This seems to be the first description of a C . equi infection in a llama.
