  • Title: Encephalitic listeriosis in two adult llamas (Lama glama): clinical presentations, lesions and immunofluorescence of Listeria monocytogenes in brainstem lesions.
    Author: Butt MT, Weldon A, Step D, De Lahunta A, Huxtable CR.
    Journal: Cornell Vet; 1991 Jul; 81(3):251-8. PubMed ID: 1908758.
    Abstract:
    Encephalitic listeriosis was diagnosed in 2 adult llamas. Both had a multifocal suppurative encephalitis with mixed lymphocytic and neutrophilic perivascular infiltrates. Listeria monocytogenes was cultured from the brain stem of 1 llama using cold enrichment techniques; the other llama was culture negative. Formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded sections of brainstem lesions from both affected animals were labeled with a fluorescein-conjugated, anti-L. monocytogenes antibody. Using this technique, intralesional L. monocytogenes were identified in both llamas.
