Much time later, the family diversified and prospered, and representatives arrived in Asia (Old-World Camelids) and others arrived in South America (New-World Camelids), while Camelids became extinct in their area of origin. (domesticforest.com)
Due to the fact that camelids are not an important source of food or clothing in the US, Canada, or Europe as they are in South America, nor are they used for transport of goods and security as in the Middle East and India, studies aimed at improving health and productivity of camelids in the US, Canada, and Europe are largely supported by owners and breeders.

Breeders2
Donations by owners and breeders to funding organizations that are prepared to critically review applications and monitor progress are a key element in our ability to conduct competitive research that will benefit camelids and meet the requirements for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. (alpacainfo.com)
The elements of a successful camelid research effort can be broken down into three major parts, institutions that actually do the research, institutions that critically review, fund, and monitor the progress of research and those that attempt to bring the information gleaned from these studies to camelid owners and breeders.
