Rabies is the oldest most feared zoonotic disease of world, affecting animals and human beings, responsible for approximately 55,000 deaths annually worldwide. virus (RABV) belongs to genus Lyssavirus, family Rhabdoviridae, under order Mononegavirales. The transmission RABV mainly occurred through bite rabid in 99% cases dogs are spread virus. present study was conducted molecular characterizat...

Gross anatomy of the fetlock joint of the seven male adult onehumped camels were studied. In present study, the tendinous middle interosseous muscle, interdigital intersesamoid and straight sesamoid ligaments were observed. However, there was no proximal interdigital ligament. In conclusion, we found that the gross anatomy of the ligaments in one-humped camel fetlock joint share remarkable simi...

But to proceed, I have seen a vast variety of singular animals, such as dromedaries, camels, &c and particularly at Leipsick, where a celebrated master of music, who had already arrived to his 88th year, received his sight by my hands; it is with this very man that the famous Handel was first educated, and with whom I once thought to have had the same success, having all circumstances in his fa...

To evaluate the effects of season, sex and age on serum concentrations of thyroid hormones, cholesterol and triglyceride, and their correlations together in dromedarian camels, these parameters were measured in 180 clinically healthy dromedary camels. No significant difference was detected for the measured serum parameters between the two sexes and among the different age groups of camels and n...

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...

In another review of the literature on the helminth parasites of camels, El Bihari (71) gave a list of species encountered frequently and their pathogenic effects, together with a list of those encountered occasionally. We are aware of 30 species not men­ tioned by this author , who provided no information on the geographical distribution of species. It is our purpose here to present a more com...

Alpha s1-, alpha s2-, beta- and kappa-caseins from Somali camels (Camelus dromedarius) were purified by acid precipitation at pH 4.4, crudely separated into an alpha-CN and a beta-CN fraction and further purified by reversed-phase HPLC. Fragments of tryptic digests were sequenced. Amino acid patterns obtained were used to screen a cDNA library constructed from mRNA from lactating udder tissue. ...

Natural dermatophilosis (caused by Dermatophilus congolensis Van Saceghem, 1915) has only recently been described in camels (Camelus dromedarius). Further work has shown that the disease is actually widespread. At the Ol Maisor farm where it was first diagnosed (in the Laikipia district of northern Kenya), detailed investigations have revealed that thirty camels (ten calves and twenty adult ani...

The objective of this study was to define the anatomy of the cranioencephalic structures and associated formations in camel using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MR images were acquired in sagittal, transverse and oblique dorsal planes, using spin-echo techniques, a magnet of 1.5 T and a standard human body coil. MR images were compared with corresponding frozen cross-sections of the head. Di...
