It has been reported only on few occasions outside South America. Due to its hepatic\u00a0migration, it can cause extensive liver damage, leading to granulomatous and fibrotic hepatitis and manifesting with lethargy, anorexia, and even death. We are reporting the second case of\u00a0<jats:italic>L. chavezi<\/jats:italic> infection in Europe and the first in Switzerland. The patient was a three-year old neutered male llama (<jats:italic>Lama glama<\/jats:italic>). Clinical examination revealed bloody mucous discharge from the anus. Fecal sedimentation\/flotation revealed strongylid eggs consistent with <jats:italic>L. chavezi<\/jats:italic>, which were molecularly confirmed by a PCR targeting the ITS2 plus 5.8S and 28S rDNA flanking regions and amplicon sequencing. Eighteen weeks after administration of a single dose of eprinomectin (0.2\u00a0mg\/kg i.m.), no further <jats:italic>L. chavezi<\/jats:italic> eggs were detected in the feces. The source of infection could not be traced back. The entire herd consisted of llamas bred in Switzerland. <jats:italic>L. chavezi<\/jats:italic> has been rarely reported outside South America, but its potential for pathogenicity and establishment should not be underestimated. Fecal sedimentation\/flotation techniques should be routinely performed to ensure early detection of the parasite.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11259-024-10465-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,16]],"date-time":"2024-07-16T06:01:51Z","timestamp":1721109711000},"page":"3365-3369","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Early Detection and Management of Lamanema chavezi infection in a llama (Lama glama) in Switzerland"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"48","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4484-5393","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diana S.","family":"Gliga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0397-0355","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne","family":"Kramer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0475-717X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gast\u00f3n","family":"Mor\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6478-7493","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caroline F.","family":"Frey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3334-629X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walter","family":"Basso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"10465_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Angulo JT, Tantale\u00e1n-Vidaurre M, Watanabe-Watanabe R, Del Solar Velarde JM (2015) Redescripci\u00f3n de Lamanema chavezi por Microscop\u00eda \u00d3ptica y Microscop\u00eda Electr\u00f3nica de Barrido.
