Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of viral hepatitis globally. Zoonotic HEV is an important cause of chronic hepatitis in immunocompromised patients. The rapid identification of novel HEV variants and accumulating sequence information has prompted significant changes in taxonomy of the family Hepeviridae. This family includes two genera: Orthohepevirus, which infects terrestrial vertebra...

BACKGROUND The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) plays a crucial role in transporting IgG and associated antigens across polarized epithelial barriers in mucosal immunity. However, it was not clear that FcRn expression in aggregated lymphoid nodules area (ALNA) in abomasum, a unique and important mucosal immune structure discovered only in Bactrian camels. In the present study, 27 Alashan Bactrian ca...

Camel is the only mode of transport in desert. In Gujarat 0.058 million camel population is there. Camel suffers from a number of important diseases viz., trypanosomiasis which is a serious problem in many parts of the world and poses a major threat to camel health. No systemic data is available on the diseases prevailing in the rural camel populations or their off springs maintained in rural h...

The study was conducted to explore various aspects of reproduction in camels viz. Effect of breed on fertility, effect of repeat services during same estrous period on pregnancy rate, effect of copulation time on fertility in female dromedary camels, early versus late onset of sexual libido in males, male fertility and investigations into mating ability, semen donation efficiency in Artificial ...

Abstract Background The widespread popularity of porcine circovirus type 2(PCV2) has seriously affected the healthy development pig industry and caused huge economic losses worldwide. A rapid reliable method is required for epidemiological investigation evaluating effect immunization. However, current methods PCV2 antibody detection are time-consuming or very expensive rarely meet requirements ...

AIM As the labeled anti-camel immunoglobulins (Igs) with enzymes for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are unavailable in the Egyptian market, the present investigation was directed for developing local labeled anti-camel IgG with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to save hard curacy. MATERIALS AND METHODS For purification of camel IgG whole molecule, camel sera was preliminary precipitate...
