[Alpacasite] Re: Parasite control

Hi Lisa,
Yes, the article is most informative. I find it interesting
that you picked up on that particular sentence about west coast
animals. Being in the west coast I wondered exactly what they meant
about the " dry and cool conditions."

In CA, NE, AZ, NM the dry certainly applies but the cool is
only in the depths of winter, like Dec and Jan. In WA, OR, ID the
dry doesn''t apply at all (to one used to the semi-arid region of CA)
and the cool would be correct for much of the time.

So, what I am saying is that the temperature/rainfall
reference is not very correct. What is correct, probably, is that
the parasites in any region are going to be different from any other
region. In general, I think the dry portions of the west would, in
fact, engender animals with little resistance for the eastern
parasites. We need to worm so infrequently by comparison with what
we hear about in M worm country.

In general I think when you "import' animals from a different
region they will have to be carefully monitored for their adaptation
to your surroundings.

But I thought the links were great!!!
