Abstract
Infection with Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, a parasite of white-tailed deer, can cause neurologic abnormalities in llamas. Gastrointestinal u lceration and pulmonary aspergillosis may develop secondarily in llama s with chronic disease. Treatment of gastrointestinal ulceration in ll amas is difficult, because efficacy of commonly used antiulcer drugs h as not been established for this species.
