Rotavirus A (RVA) Alp11B was detected from a neonatal Peruvian alpaca presenting with diarrhea, and the Alp11B VP7, VP4, VP6, NSP4, and NSP5 genes were sequenced. The partial genotype constellation of this strain, RVA/Alpaca-wt/PER/Alp11B/2010, was determined to be G35-P[50]-I13-E16-H6.

Fiber quality and fertility in male alpacas in the Cusco region of Peru.

Article Synopsis
- High testosterone levels in male alpacas may lead to coarser fiber and affect their mating success, prompting a study to explore factors influencing fiber quality and male mating behavior in Peruvian alpacas.
- The research involved 189 male alpacas in the Andes, analyzing fiber samples and evaluating factors like age, body condition score (BCS), and fiber color, while correlating these with fertility data from some males.
- Results highlighted that younger alpacas had finer fibers, better BCS improved certain fiber characteristics, and a link was found between fiber curvature and male fertility, suggesting strategic breeding could enhance fiber quality in alpacas.

Soil infertility is a global problem, amendments such as organic fertilizers and mineral fertilizers are used to improve crop yields. However, these fertilizers contain heavy metals as well as essential mineral elements. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizer on the accumulation and health risk of heavy metals in tubers.

To better query regional sources of metal(loid) exposure in an under-communicated region, available scientific literature from 50 national universities (undergraduate and graduate theses and dissertations), peer-reviewed journals, and reports published in Spanish and English were synthesized with a focus on metal(loid) bioaccumulation in Peruvian food and medicinal products utilized locally. The study considered 16 metal(loid)s that are known to exert toxic impacts on humans (Hg, Al, Sb, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Cr, Sn, Ni, Ag, Pb, Se, Tl, Ti, and U). A total of 1907 individual analyses contained within 231 scientific publications largely conducted by Peruvian universities were analyzed.

Alpacas, important genetic resources in the Andean region of Peru, are vulnerable to diarrhea caused by pathogenic parasites such as and sp., which can be fatal, especially in neonates, due to their physiological immaturity and limited adaptability. The study investigated the diversity and abundance of intestinal fungi and protists in alpacas infected with and sp.

Background: Minerals are important for animals in many biological functions. There is scarce information, however, about micromineral content in the blood of South American camelids under their prevalent production system.
Aim: This study aims to determine whole blood selenium (Se) and serum zinc (Zn) concentrations of grazing alpacas at three different physiological states in the Peruvian Andean Highland.
