A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence and species of camel mange mite infestation in Raya-Azebo district, Northern part of Ethiopia. Accordingly, Three hundred and eighty-four camels were examined and mange mite infestation was detected on 64 of camels. Only Sarcoptes scabiei var. cameli was identified as the only mite species in all skin scraping samples collected...

Camel brucellosis has been diagnosed in all camel-rearing countries except Australia. In many countries the infection is on the rise in Old World camels (OWCs) due to the uncontrolled trade of live animals. Knowledge of camelid brucellosis has increased over the last decade through field investigations, experimental infection trials and comprehensive laboratory testing. Infection with Brucella ...

background: the knowledge of blood parameters is important for assessing the physiological status and health of animals. objectives: this study was conducted to determine the effect of heavy pregnancy on some serum indices of dromedary camels. methods: twenty clinically healthy female dromedary camels aged between 4-5 years were divided into two equal groups: i: pregnant camels in their last tr...

this experiment aimed to investigate the effect of (zero, 20, 40 and 60 mg/kg atriplex forage) malva sylvestris on digestibility and microbial fermentation of atriplex in one-humped camel. fermentation parameters by gas production technique and in vitro digestibility by two-stage digestion were measured by two years old female fistulated camels. addition 40 and 60 mg/kg malva sylvestris increas...

This study aimed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of caudal epidural administration of tramadol in dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius). A total of 10 dromedary camels of both sexes were selected and randomly assigned to one of two groups to receive epidurally either 1 mg/kg or 2 mg/kg of tramadol hydrochloride. The injections were made into the epidural space at first intercoccygeal jun...

Because little is known about the ecology of influenza viruses in camels, 460 nasal swab specimens were collected from healthy (no overt illness) Bactrian camels in Mongolia during 2012. One specimen was positive for influenza A virus (A/camel/Mongolia/335/2012[H3N8]), which is phylogenetically related to equine influenza A(H3N8) viruses and probably represents natural horse-to-camel transmission.

Nearly 4 years after the first report of the emergence of Middle-East respiratory syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and nearly 1800 human cases later, the ecology of MERS-CoV, its epidemiology, and more than risk factors of MERS-CoV transmission between camels are poorly understood. Knowledge about the pathways and mechanisms of transmission from animals to humans is limited; as of yet, transmiss...

a feeding trial of 120 days duration was conducted to study the effect of replacing 20 and 25 % of camel ration by poultry litter (pl) on the performance and some blood biochemical parameters. fifteen healthy one–humped camels were allotted into three groups (5 animals / group). the first group was fed a basal ration and considered as control, while the second and third groups were fed rations ...

background: linguatula serrata is one of well known members of pentastomida which infects both human and animals. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of l. serrata in mesenteric lymph nodes, livers and lungs of camels slaughtered in tabriz area, iran. methods: mesenteric lymph nodes (mlns), livers and lungs of 140 one-humped camels slaughtered in tabriz , north-west of iran wer...

Abstract For thousands of years, camels have produced meat, milk, and fiber in harsh desert conditions. a sustainable development to provide protein resources from areas, it is necessary pay attention genetic improvement camel breeding. By using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) method we over 14,500 genome wide markers conduct genome- association study (GWAS) for investigating the birth weight, d...
