1 Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has been persistent in 2 the Middle East region since 2012. Abundant scientific evidence showed that dromedary 3 camels are the primary host of the virus. Majority of human cases (i.e. 75% or 88%) are 4 due to human-to-human transmission, while the others are due to camel-to-human transmis5 sion. Mathematical modelling of MERS-CoV camel-...

This study was designed to reveal out the prevalence of Sarcoptic mite infestation and the risk factors associated with occurrence of mange in one-humped camels (Camulus dromedarius) at smallholder farms in Upper Egypt, and to develop an applicable therapeutical protocol for the Sarcoptic mange infested camels. A total of 660 one-humped camels were randomly selected from different villages of A...

BACKGROUND Rift valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne viral disease of domestic livestock and wild ruminants. In camels RVF may cause abortion among pregnant camels, but is most often asymptomatic among other camels. In this study, a seroepidemiological survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of RVFV antibodies and to identify the potential risk factors associated with RVFV seropositi...

Antibodies to Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) were detected in serum and milk collected according to local customs from 33 camels in Qatar, April 2014. At one location, evidence for active virus shedding in nasal secretions and/or faeces was observed for 7/12 camels; viral RNA was detected in milk of five of these seven camels. The presence of MERS-CoV RNA in milk of cam...

Camels showed clinical signs of contagious skin necrosis (CSN), with or without trypanosomosis, were subjected to study. The following samples were collected; sterile bacteriological swabs from skin necrosis area, whole blood samples for hematological analysis and for diagnosis of trypanosomosis, and serum for measuring lipid peroxidation product (Malondialdehyde, MDA). The bacteriological exam...

INTRODUCTION Camels migrate between the open boundaries of Sudan and Egypt either for grazing or for slaughtering. Bad hygiene and stress is often related to pulmonary diseases in camels. This study investigated whether camels slaughtered in Cairo carried pulmonary infections. METHODOLOGY Five hundred lung tissues of slaughtered camels were examined and 100 samples suspected for pulmonary inf...
