Malate dehydrogenase, α-esterase and β-esterase isoenzymes have been analyzed by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in different tissues (liver, kidney, muscle and hump) of the Arabian Camel, Camelus dromedaries in order to study the tissue specificity of these isoenzymes. Malate dehydrogenase recorded three fractions while both esterases recorded two fractions in different studied tissu...

Camels (Camelus dromedaries), similar to other ruminants, are infected by the Anoplocephalidae family belonging class cestode causing mild severe illness. This study utilized a conventional PCR assay confirm that Stilesia spp. is morphologically identified. Slaughtered camel intestines from Al-Najif abattoir in central part of Iraq were examined for Applied and genetic analysis twenty adult wor...

Thirty-two naturally infested dromedaries were included in these studies; within pairs, dromedaries were randomly allocated to a treated or a control group based on body weight. Treated animals received a single subcutaneous injection of ivermectin 1.0% w/v solution at adose of 200 \¡.g/kg. Animals were slaughtered 14 to 29 days after treatment and the parasites remaining were recovered for ide...

Background: Ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are considered to be the most serious health problems for animals humans. This issue prompts veterinarians researchers adopt better preventive control strategies. Therefore, this study aims develop hybridoma vaccine against Hylomma dromedarii infesting Camelus dromedaries. Methods: Myeloma cell culture was administered immunized mouse in order pr...

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is an existential threat to global public health. The virus has been repeatedly detected in dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius). Adult animals in many countries in the Middle East as well as in North and East Africa showed high (>90%) seroprevalence to the virus. Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus isolated from dromedaries is ...

The esophagus of one-humped camel was studied grossly and histologically. Different stains were used to examine the glands and musculature. The esophagus of camel appeared to be similar to that of other ruminants in absence of the abdominal portion. Specific modifications were observed in camel's esophagus different than the esophagus of other domestic animals in presence of a well developed ph...
