Abstract
With the objective of contributing data regarding the characteristic cellular forms in vaginal smear of Llamas (Lama glama) and
to determine their structural forms in different physiologic states, pregnant, nurslings and you empty, they were carried out vaginal
smear of 15 Llamas in captivity condition in the State of Jalisco, Mexico. In the empty Llamas of the 10 to the 30 days post weaning
the superficial cells spread to go down from 41% to 7% of presence and the 30 days post weaning the intermediate cells they spread
to ascend from 58% to 98% of presence. In the pregnant Llamas in the first month of gestation the naviculars cells were observed
in more percentage 86% and the cells flakes in smaller presence 10%, while to the 9° month of gestation increase the presence of
cells flakes of 10% to 44% and they diminished the naviculars of 86% to 55%. In the Llamas in nursing of the 10 to the 30 days of
nursing the cells flakes spread to ascend from 16% to 54%, the opposite happened to the intermediate cells that spread to go down
from 83% to 42% to the 30 days of nursing. The cellular differences in the vaginal epithelium of the Llamas could serve like a tool
in the diagnostic of gestation and fertility.
