This report describes the abortion of the only pregnant animal in a group of 12. The llama was infected by inoculating 1 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>8<\/jats:sup> viable B. abortus organisms into the conjunctival sac. Forty-three days postinfection, the llama aborted a fetus of approximately 8 months gestational age. Brucella organisms were isolated from the placenta and all fetal specimens examined. These organisms were also isolated from the dam's mammary gland and numerous lymph nodes when the llama was necropsied 42 days later. Microscopically, there was a moderate, multifocal, lymphocytic and histiocytic, subacute placentitis with marked loss of trophoblastic epithelial cells. The superficial chorioallantoic stroma contained abundant necrotic and mineralized debris as well as numerous swollen capillaries protruding multifocally from the denuded surface. Immunohistochemistry revealed that these capillaries, as well as sloughed and intact trophoblasts, were expanded by large numbers of Brucella organisms. Brucellar antigen was also detected in occasional macrophages in the fetal kidney and lung. Ultrastructurally, bacteria labeled by an antibody-based colloidal gold procedure were located within degenerate capillaries, within necrotic leukocytes, and extracellularly in the placental stroma. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1354\/vp.37-1-77","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,24]],"date-time":"2003-04-24T20:15:20Z","timestamp":1051215320000},"page":"77-82","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Experimental <i>Brucella abortus<\/i> Induced Abortion in a Llama"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"T.","family":"Gidlewski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N.
