| description | The alpaca is a camelid that originate from the South American highland. During recent years it's been possible to keep alpacas in other parts of the world. Today there is a world-wide interest in alpacas, but there is still limited knowledge about this fascinating animal. There are approximately 350-400 alpacas in Sweden in 2007. In 2003 a Swedish alpaca herd was diagnosed with a Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis infection and this caused considerable problems. The bacteria has a world-wide distribution and is a pathogen to most mammals, but mostly recognized as the causative agent of caseous lymphadenitis in sheep and goats. The disease is described in sheep and goats in Sweden, but present incidence is unclear. There are few scientific publications regarding C. pseudotuberculosis in alpacas, which has given some problems in the handling of C. pseudotuberculosis in Swedish alpacas. In this degree project there is a compilation of publications and practical experiences concerning alpacas. In these you can establish that this disease has the potential of causing great economic losses and suffering. The disease is primarily characterized by abscessation of the external lymphnodes and can be highly contagious, in some cases mortal. The bacteria has capabilities to withstand treatment and therefore it's difficult to eradicate. The disease can be controlled by treatment, isolation and surveillance. To eradicate the disease from a herd you need to segregate or cull infected animals. |

Det är först på senare år som det har blivit möjligt att hålla alpackor i övriga världen. Nu är dock alpackaintresset stort över stora delar av världen, men kunskapen om detta fascinerande djur är fortfarande begränsad. I Sverige finns det uppskattningsvis 350-400 alpackor 2007. En svensk besättning drabbades 2003 av ett sjukdomsutbrott orsakat av Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis och orsakade stora problem. Denna bakterie är spridd över större delen av världen och kan orsaka sjukdom hos flertalet däggdjur, men är mest känd för att orsaka kaseös lymfadenit (”böldsjuka”) hos får och get. I Sverige har sjukdomen påvisats hos får och get, men dagens incidens är okänd. Det finns få publikationer kring C. pseudotuberculosis hos alpacka, vilket har lett till svårigheter att veta hur man ska hantera detta problem hos alpacka i Sverige. I detta examensarbete har det gjorts en genomgång av de publikationer och erfarenheter som finns gällande sjukdomen hos alpacka. Av dessa kan man klargöra att C. pseudotuberculosis kan orsaka betydande ekonomiska förluster och lidanden. Sjukdomen yttrar sig främst genom bölder i de yttre lymfknutorna och kan vara mycket smittsam och i vissa fall dödlig. Bakterien har egenskaper som gör den svårbehandlad, vilket ger stora problem om man vill bli av med sjukdomen. Sjukdomen kan kontrolleras genom behandling, isolering och övervakning, men för att kunna friförklaras från smittan måste infekterade djur segregeras alternativt avlivas. 2008-11-18 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/11787/1/norgren_t_171017.pdf Norgren, Tobias, 2008.
