Although antibodies against West Nile virus (WNV) have been detected in the sera of dromedaries in the Middle East, North Africa and Spain, no WNV has been isolated or amplified from dromedary or Bactrian camels. In this study, WNV was isolated from Vero cells inoculated with both nasal swab and pooled trachea/lung samples from a dromedary calf in Dubai. Complete-genome sequencing and phylogene...

hair samples from 58 healthy camels were examined for the presence of saprophytic fungi. one -hundred and seventy-four samples were obtained from three different locations of dromedary camel's body. several fungal specific media were used for isolating and identifying the saprophytes. fungal isolates belonged to 15 genera. the most common in order of frequency were members of the genera aspergi...

The present study aimed to compare the in vitro fertilizing capacity of frozen-thawed ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa in order to standardize the semen preparation protocol for camel in vitro fertilization (IVF). Semen samples were collected from 7 Dromedary camels by means of artificial vagina (AV). Ten cauda epididymes were obtained from slaughtered adult camels, isolated, incised and r...
