Résumé

The study highlights the transboundary nature of tuberculosis (TB) in alpacas and the failure of current ante-mortem testing protocols (the tuberculin skin and Enferplex Camelid TB tests) to identify TB-free alpaca herds and individuals for export. Our research and the available literature indicate that the alpaca ( Thoracic lymph node, lung and liver tissue samples obtained at necropsy were examined histopathologically after Ziehl-Neelsen staining. Tissue samples were homogenised and mycobacteria present there were cultured on Stonebrink's medium during a 6-week incubation. A commercial test using polymorphism of the chromosomal direct repeat region provided species identification and additional identification was by spacer oligonucleotide typing and mycobacteria interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat analysis with a gel electrophoresis protocol. The microbiological examination confirmed multiorgan TB caused by the SB0666 spoligotype of Due to the suboptimal performance of current diagnostic tests for TB in alpacas, there is a risk that infected animals may be moved unwittingly. A risk of TB spread associated with the international movement of alpacas is implied by this study.
