Llamas in North America commonly face infections from various internal and external parasites. Most of these llama parasites are treatable with medications approved for cattle and sheep.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Parasitology
  • Llama Medicine

Background:

  • Llamas in North America are susceptible to a range of helminth and protozoan parasites.
  • External parasites, including lice, mites, ticks, and the deer nasal bot, also affect llamas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the common parasitic infections in North American llamas.
  • To discuss the treatment options for these parasites.

Main Methods:

  • Review of reported parasitic infections in llamas.
  • Analysis of treatment protocols for common llama parasites.

Main Results:

  • Gastrointestinal nematodes, lungworms, meningeal worms, tapeworms, and flukes are common helminth infections.
  • Coccidia and Toxoplasma are reported protozoan parasites, with coccidia being manageable.

  • External parasites like lice, mites, and ticks are treatable with standard pesticides, unlike the deer nasal bot.

    • Conclusions:

    • Most helminth and external parasite infections in llamas can be managed using existing veterinary treatments for cattle and sheep.
    • Protozoan parasite control in llamas presents challenges, particularly for Toxoplasma.
