BACKGROUND: South American camelids (SACs) have become increasingly popular in the UK. Consequently, knowledge among veterinary practitioners about diseases in these non-native species has improved, although gaps remain. The remit of this study was to identify common diseases of SACs based on Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) surveillance data from testing of carcass and sample submissions.
METHODS: A total of 3541 data sets of SAC submissions to APHA between 2012 and 2021 were analysed.
RESULTS: The overall diagnostic success rate was 39.5% but was significantly higher in carcass submissions (74%) compared to non-carcass submissions (23%). It was also significantly higher in post-weaned crias (53.4%) than in adults (40.5%), whereas fetuses (18.2%) had the lowest rate. The most common diagnoses were similar to those in an earlier study, with an even higher percentage of diagnoses of gastrointestinal parasitism among other frequent diagnoses of parasitic disease. Among non-infectious disease causes, nutritional diseases were most frequently diagnosed.
LIMITATIONS: Passive disease surveillance data rely on submissions by veterinarians to the APHA surveillance network and will therefore not mirror disease prevalence.
CONCLUSION: A detailed summary of laboratory-based diagnoses provides veterinarians and owners with guidance on frequent significant diseases of SACs in England and Wales and encourages submission of carcasses rather than samples for diagnostics where appropriate.
