| Sumario: | Haemonchus contortus, a helminth responsible for haemonchosis, is a hematophagous parasite that mainly affects ruminants and belongs to the Trichostrongylidaefamily. Infection by this parasite can cause serious health issues in ruminants, including severe anemia, submandibular edema, and in severe cases, death. Llamas, belonging to the Camelidaefamily, are animals native to high altitudes, adapted to environments with low oxygen levels and herbaceous vegetation. Although they are herbivores and have a specialized digestive system with three stomachs, llamas, like other ruminants, can host Haemonchus contortus. The impact of Haemonchus contortuson llamas can affect herd health and animal production. Prevention and control of parasitic infections are essential to ensure the productivity and well-being of this species, especially in environments where exposure to contaminated pastures is high. This paper aims to report the case of parasitism by Haemonchus contortusin a llama. |
