background and objectives: clostridium perfringens is more prevalent type of clostridia genus isolated from the intestinal tract of ostrich ( struthio camelus ). necrotic enteritis (ne) is a potentially fatal gastrointestinal (gi) disease of poultry and other avian species, which produces marked destruction of intestinal lining in digestive tract caused by c. perfringens . pathogenicity and les...

to evaluate the concentrations of serum lipids and lipoproteins and their correlations together and withthyroid hormones in gray necked ostrich (struthio camelus), the serum levels of cholesterol, triglyceride,total lipids, very low density lipoproteins (vldl-cholesterol), low density lipoproteins (ldl-cholesterol)and high density lipoproteins (hdl-cholesterol) and their correlations with tri-i...

Onchocerca fasciata Railliet & Henry, 1910, which occurs in subcutaneous nodules, shows a site preference to the anterior parts of its host, Camelus dromedarius L., i.e. the nuchal ligaments, neck, and shoulders. Although the incidence of infection was generally high (59%), the infected camels did not exhibit any apparent disease. The intensity of infection ranged between 2 and 29, with a mean ...

The content of vitamin C, vitamin B2 and fat-soluble vitamins E and A in camel milk was studied. The milk samples were collected from 20 individual camels (Camelus dromedarius) in two different occasions. The study showed that camel milk contains considerably less vitamin A and B2 than cow milk while the content of vitamin E was about the same level. The level of vitamin C was in average three ...

abattoir survey was carried out to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths and the seasonal fluctuations in intestinal worm burdens and faecal worm egg counts of camel in khorasan razavi province in the northeast of iran. a total of 306 dromedaries (camelus dromedarius) in the mashhad abattoir, in the northeast of iran and the capital of khorasanprovince were examined between oct...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the sero-prevalence of neospora caninum infec­tion in camelus dromedarius ; the most popular camel species in iran. methods:   totally, 310 serum samples were collected from camels in isfahan province during 2008 and tested in shahrekord university using indirect fluorescent antibody test (ifat) for se­rodiagnosis of anti- n. caninum igg anti...

The dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius, one-humped camel) is an important livestock species adapted to hot and arid environments. It is most abundant in the arid lowlands of Africa, the Middle East and Western Asia. The economic importance of this multipurpose animal is evident from the numerous benefits provided by camel products (meat, milk, wool). Moreover, the camel serves for riding, as ...

BACKGROUND There has been a growing interest in camel anaplasmosis due to its recent emergence in this reservoir species and concerns for its zoonotic potential. The epidemiology of anaplasmosis in camels therefore remains poorly understood mostly because camels belong to marginalised poor and often transhumant populations whose interests are largely neglected. Most studies of anaplasmosis in c...

In the present work, we have studied daily rhythmicity of body temperature (Tb) in Arabian camels challenged with daily heat, combined or not with dehydration. We confirm that Arabian camels use heterothermy to reduce heat gain coupled with evaporative heat loss during the day. Here, we also demonstrate that this mechanism is more complex than previously reported, because it is characterized by...
