Parasitic diseases of camels are major causes of impaired milk and meat production, decreases in performance or even death. Some camel parasites also represent a threat to human health. About 171,500 one-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) and 100-300 two-humped camels (Camelus bactrianus) live in Iran. Knowledge of the biodiversity of their parasites is still limited. The present review covers...

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 single-humped camel (Camelus dromedaries) is bred in the western part of lndia. This breed is famous for high milk yield potential. In the present study, we evaluated the genetic diversity of a population of Malvi camel. Multilocus genotype data on 29 microsatellites were generated on 138 Malvi camel. A total of 240 alleles were observed. The mean observed heterozygosity in camel population...

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 ...

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...
