According to controversial theories and results of studies, foods with animal origins play an important role in the transmission of H. pylori to human. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of vacA genotypes of H. pylori, isolated from milk and meat samples of cow, sheep, goat, camel, and buffalo. Eight hundred and twenty raw milk and meat samples were collected from various p...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sous vide and electric oven cooking methods on physical sensory characteristics camel meat. A combination 4 temperatures (70, 80, 90, 100 °C) 6 times (30, 60, 120, 150, 180 min) was applied. Both significantly affected meat’s properties (pH, loss, density, lightness, redness, yellowness color components), except for water activity. Furthermore, tempera...

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...

This paper presents the results of a study conducted in a pastoral community in Kenya using participatory appraisal approaches. The objective of the study was to assess the socio-economic impact of camel trypanosomosis (surra) according to the perceptions of the pastoralists. Four livestock grazing units were conveniently selected and in each of them, three groups of key informants comprising f...

Different isolates of Toxoplasma gondii (RH, equine, camel and sheep) strain were evaluated when used as antigens in the modified agglutination test (MAT) for the detection of antibodies to T. gondii in sera of slaughtered camels and donkeys from Egypt. The camel and sheep strains of T. gondii revealed a higher prevalence of toxoplasmosis in camels (30.7 and 27.3%) than that showed by RH and eq...

The myogenic factors (MYF) 5 gene has been reported to contribute to muscle growth and development, therefore they are considered as candidate genes for growth and meat quality related traits. The MYF5 gene is expressed during proliferation of myoblasts and comprises 3 exons. To ascertain whether there is any variation in the camel MYF5 gene, we have used a polymerase chain reaction-single stra...

This work is mainly devoted to the study of trace elements concentrations, copper and zinc, in different organs of 50 cattle, 50 sheep, 30 camels and 40 equines slaughtered in municipal slaughterhouse of Casablanca, which is the main source of consumption meat in the study area. The organs that have been studied were the liver, lung, skeletal muscle, heart and kidney for each animal. All organs...
