Paratuberculosis in South American camelids: two independent cases in alpacas in Germany
MAP can cause severe clinical disease in alpacas of variable age and under different husbandry conditions. Therefore, paratuberculosis should be considered for differential diagnosis in alpacas with emaciation and poor general condition. Although not definitely shown, cross-species infection between ruminant species and camelids is exceedingly likely.
