Septicemic salmonellosis in two llamas

At necropsy, Salmonella choleraesuis var kunzendorf was recovered from the lungs of a 6-year-old female llama that died within a few days of onset of illness. The llama had had fence-line contact with 40 sows at a farm. Salmonella typhimurium was isolated from a blood sample of a 6-day-old male cria that also died after a short illness.
