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...

Paratuberculosis (John's disease) is infectious and chronically progressive granulomatous disease which affects domestic and wild ruminants. The causative agent is Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP), a slow growing mycobactin dependent acid-fast bacillus. We investigated the detection and frequency of MAP in apparently healthy dromedary and Bactrian camels by insertion sequence 900 (IS9...

Veterinary World Vol.1, No.9, September 2008 Introduction Trypanosomiasis is a disease complex caused by several species of blood-and tissuedwelling protozoan parasites. The disease occurs throughout the tropical regions of Africa and in large areas of Asia and South America. It affects cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, camels and man. Wild animals can also be infected with the parasites but ...

AIM The current investigation aimed to evaluate ruminant raw milk as a reservoir source of Helicobacter pylori and analyze the diversity of cagA and vacA genotypes as H. pylori virulence factors to find any relationship between these genotypes in human and animal H. pylori strains. BACKGROUND The way of transmission of Helicobacter pylori as one of the most controversial bacteria in the world...

Xinjiang province is the main camel feeding area in China with a large square, and milk from different areas have qualities. By now, there are few reports about quality of China. In this study, seven batches one batch cow were collected, contents fat, protein, lactose, total solid, nonfat solid these samples determined, as well lysozyme vitamin C. All scored compared by principal component anal...

Abstract In this paper we have gathered and put into context all accessible sources regarding one-hump (dromedary— Camelus dromedarius ) or two-hump Bactrian camels ( bactrianus in the Carpathian Basin. Reviewed empirical statements pointed out growing European demand for camel meat milk. These species are capable of grazing overexploited bush-encroached pastures, besides producing valuable fib...

ObjectiveThis study was performed to investigate the analgesic effects of lidocaine and lidocaine/tramadol combination in epidural anaesthesia in dromedary camels. DesignExperimental Study AnimalsEight healthy immature dromedary camels ProceduresThe camels were randomly designed in 2 equal groups. In group L: lidocaine 2% (0.22 mg/kg) and in group LT: a combination of lidocaine 2% (0.22 mg/kg) ...

Very little is known about LHR and FSHR genes of domestic dromedary camels. The main objective of this study was to determine and analyze partial genomic regions of FSHR and LHR genes in dromedary camels for the first time. To this end, a total of50 DNA samples belonging to dromedary camels raised in Iran were sent for sequencing (25 samples of each gene). We compared the nucleotide sequences o...

Analysis of blood serum enzymesis an important and routine diagnostic tool commonly used to assess the well-being and metabolic status of racing camels. Unfortunately there are no well defined gender-specific published reference ranges for serum enzymes for healthy, lame and fractured camels. In this study, we report baseline reference range values for Glucose, Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Aspar...
