[AlpacaTalk] Virus Update


The reports continue to come in, and this includes NEW infections and
outbreaks. Here is an email I received this morning

"Got home from OABA Sunday night, our 3 year old male got suddenly
ill Monday night with frothing of mouth, snots, and respiratory
distress. He made it through the night but... We're very concerned
about him. His stall mate, 13-month-old male, this am has nasal
discharge, no temp. None of the females sick yet."

For every report I am sent I have reports, from reliable sources, of
several more. This includes deaths, and animals in University
hospitals. Please go to www.AlpacaWatch.com
<http://www.alpacawatch.com/> , and send us your ARS Statistics. All of
your information will be kept confidential.

Total herd size reported: 4408
Total number reported infected: 2251
Total number of deaths reported: 40 from owners and 6+ from
vets/universities

AlpacaWatch currently have three consultants: Dr. Steven Purdy, Dr.
Steve Hull and Allison Moss-Fritch. There are still a number of
professionals and alpaca owners that we are looking to add to our list
of consultants.

We currently have 642 members. I would like to see the membership at
1000, world wide, by the end of the month. Send out the web Site address
to any farms that you can contact information on. www.AlpacaWatch.com
