Surgery of the Injured Dulla in Dromedary Camels (Camelus dromedarius)

Objectives: to investigate classification and possible causes of dulaa disorders and effect of surgical removal on male sexual desire. Animals: Twenty six male camels (age=6-13years) with dulaa injuries were admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia. Sixteen camels showed signs of protruding, fluctuating and edematous dulaas. Other ten camels showed signs of...

Trypanosomiasis of camels (Camelus dromedarius) in Algeria: First report

Camel trypanosomosis is a life-threatening disease in the camel species and responsible for severe economic losses either in milk or meat productions. This study was carried out on the south-east area of Algeria on 100 camels of various ages and either sex from two herds. Microscopic examination of blood smears revealed higher levels of trypanosomosis caused by Trypanosoma evansi</...

Prevalence of Cryptosporidium-like infection in one-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) of northwestern Iran
