Cryptococcosis in a llama (Lama glama)Robert J Bildfell
Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, Corvallis 97339-0429, USA
J Vet Diagn Invest 14:337-9. 2002..Cryptococcosis has not been previously reported in a llama, although the infection has been described in 2 other species of New World camelids. The pathogenesis of cryptococcosis is briefly reviewed...- Bile acids in gastric fluids from llamas and alpacas with and without ulcersChristopher K Cebra
Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 4802, USA
J Vet Intern Med 17:567-70. 2003..Whether bile reflux was the cause of the ulcers or occurred after or concurrent to their development remains unknown...

J Vet Diagn Invest 25:162-7. 2013..Interagency cooperation, education of farmers regarding pesticide use, and enforcement of regulations has been successful in greatly decreasing these mortality events since 2009...- Diagnostic sampling and gross pathology of new world camelidsRobert J Bildfell
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine, 146 Magruder Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA Electronic address
Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract 28:577-91. 2012..Unique anatomic features of NWC and common findings encountered during gross necropsy examination are briefly reviewed... - Hair-loss syndrome in black-tailed deer of the Pacific NorthwestRobert J Bildfell
Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, 105 Magruder Hall, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, USA
J Wildl Dis 40:670-81. 2004..We postulate that the hair loss is largely due to ectoparasitism by a species of chewing louse that represents a new pathogen for BTD. This loss of pelage also may be an important contributor to the poor body condition of these animals... - Experimental deerpox infection in black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus)Rob J Bildfell
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97339 0429, USA
J Wildl Dis 46:33-45. 2010..Transmission was confirmed by one or more of virus isolation, polymerase chain reaction or serum neutralization tests. Significant internal lesions were not seen at necropsy... - Prevalence of Baylisascaris procyonis in raccoons (Procyon lotor) in Portland, Oregon, USAJennifer L Yeitz
College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, USA
J Wildl Dis 45:14-8. 2009..The data also suggest that juvenile raccoons are the major potential source of B. procyonis contamination in the Portland community and may merit special attention to minimize their interaction with humans... 
Investigation of koi herpesvirus latency in koiKathleen E Eide
Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
J Virol 85:4954-62. 2011..Our study suggests that KHV may become latent in leukocytes and other tissues, that it can be reactivated from latency by temperature stress, and that it may be more widespread in the koi population than previously suspected...- Eimeria macusaniensis infection in 15 llamas and 34 alpacasChristopher K Cebra

Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, Magruder Hall, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, USA
J Wildl Dis 43:762-9. 2007..magna. Phylogenetic analysis showed that it is related to, but is an outlier, to the genus Fasciola. Due to the high mortality rate associated with this disease outbreak, the overall significance of trematodiasis in the herd is unclear... - Bilateral cystic rete testis in an alpaca (Lama pacos)Michelle A Kutzler

J Wildl Dis 42:527-35. 2006..We provide the first unequivocal identification of P. odocoilei in Columbian black-tailed deer from Oregon. The broader geographic distribution, prevalence, and pathology of P. odocoilei are not known in populations of Oregon deer... - An observation of Clostridium perfringens in Greater Sage-GrouseChristian A Hagen
