Experiments with South American camelids (Lama glama) have shown
that they have a very low susceptibility to infection with FMD virus.
In experiments in Argentina, only three of 30 llamas exposed by contact
with infected pigs became infected and just two of them developed mouth
lesions. Also, in field studies in Argentina in which llamas were present
on the same holding as infected cattle, none of the llamas became infected.
