background: although camels represent a valuable source of food, wool and hide in many countries, in-depth information about their vector-borne pathogens is scarce compared to other animals. the aim of the current study was to characterize vector-borne protozoa in the blood of dromedaries from iran by molecular tools. methods: from june to july 2014, 200 peripheral blood samples were collected ...

BACKGROUND: There is little information about blood supply of the carpal joint in one- humped camel, while there is extensive data about cow and equine species. In order to perform surgeries and diagnostic techniques in carpal region, information about the elements of the joint such as its arteries is necessary. OBJECTIVES: This study aims at describing the origins, arrangements, and branches o...

The one-humped or the dromedarian camel is a pseudo-ruminant mammal, well adapted to the hot and dry climates of the desert. Its ability to withstand torrid heat and extreme desiccation is of paramount importance to its survival. The studies presented in this thesis were designed to investigate and document the effect of dehydration in the presence or absence of angiotensin II (Ang II) AT1 rece...

Heparin, a heterogeneous anionic polysaccharide, is the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) used clinically an anticoagulant. This anticoagulant activity is primarily derived from its binding to the serine protease inhibitor antithrombin III, a potent inhibitor of thrombin (factor IIa) and factor Xa. Heparin is a complex natural product and its in vitro synthesis is not yet possible due to the difficulty o...

BACKGROUND This comprehensive study was conducted on multi-purpose one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) sera and ticks to assess the epidemiological aspects of the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) in northeast Iran. METHODS From May 2012 to January 2013, eleven cities were randomly selected in the Khorasan Provinces of Iran as "clusters," and at least 14 one-humped camels were ...

In the present case report, the comprehensive management of a bilateral mandibular fracture in a single-humped camel including pre-, peri- and post-operative cares is described. A one-year-old camel with the overhanging of the rostral part of the lower jaw which occurred seven days ago was presented. After clinical and radiographic examinations, a bilateral mandibular fracture at the caudal par...

introduction camels belong to the family of camelidae, suborder of tylopoda, order of artiodactyla and class of mammalians. the family camelidae has two old world species, double-humped camel (camelus bactrianus) and single-humped camel (camelus dromedaries) and four new world (tribe lamini) species, guanaco (lama guanicoe), llama (lama glama), alpaca (lama pacos) and vicuna (lama vicugna or vi...

The one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) was first introduced to German South West Africa (Namibia) for military purposes in 1889. Introductions to the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa) in 1897 and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) in 1903 were initially with a view to replacing oxen that died of rinderpest. Disease risks attendant on these introductions were recognised and to some extent guarded against. T...

A one-day old male camel calf was presented to the Al-Qattara Veterinary Hospital with complaints of abdominal straining and lack of defecation. On examination it was found that the calf had no tail, the posterior sacral margin was blunt and the anal opening was absent. The case was diagnosed as congenital anury with atresia ani. The animal was sedated with 0.1 mg/kg of xylazine administered in...
