--- Pneumonias are the second leading cause of mortality of babies’ alpacas; this is caused by viral and bacterial agents that coexist in infectious processes causing acute pneumonia. Pasteurella multocida is the main bacteria involved in pneumonia infections in alpacas, followed by Mannhemia haemolytica, both agents in hyperacute cases generate death of offspring during calving season and stressful times. However this association has the participation of differences virus likes BRSV. Toll-like receptors (TLR) are transmembrane proteins found in various cell types. The genes encoding this protein are highly conserved across different species. The protein TLR4 recognizes LPS, a structure which have all gram-negative bacteria (Pasteurella multocida and Mannhemia haemolytica) and the F protein of BRSV. In alpacas has not identified the presence of this gene, so that the study primers were designed to identify the presence of the gene in this species. We had obtained the sequence of the gene in alpacas allowed analyzing and comparing the sequences obtained between individuals and between species, noting the high degree of conservation of TLR4gene sequence between species. We could not to detect polymorphisms sort of SNP between sick and healthy animals, but we were able to determine SNP genotypes in individuals showing GT and GC. Key Words: alpacas, pneumonia, Pasteurella multocida, Mannhemia haemolytica, BRSV, tlr4, polymorphism.
