BACKGROUND Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most important zoonotic diseases; caused by different genotypes of Echinococcus spp. Camels have an important role in transmission cycle of E. granulosus especially, in desert areas. This study aimed to investigate molecular characterization of hydatid cysts isolates from one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) and to show its molecular and phy...

Objective- Radiological and anatomical study of the Lacrimal apparatus system in one-humped camel of Iran (Camelus Dromedarius).Design- Prospective studyAnimals- Five heads (cut above the third cervical vertebra) of adult Dromedary camels' cadavers were collected from the slaughterhouse of the Najafabad area of Isfahan Province, Iran. Procedures- The anatomy of the nasolacrimal duct of one- hum...

this experiment aimed to investigate the effect of (zero, 20, 40 and 60 mg/kg atriplex forage) malva sylvestris on digestibility and microbial fermentation of atriplex in one-humped camel. fermentation parameters by gas production technique and in vitro digestibility by two-stage digestion were measured by two years old female fistulated camels. addition 40 and 60 mg/kg malva sylvestris increas...

Background: Skin lesions of filarial worms are usually common in livestock. In camels, the most reported species is Onchocerca fasciata, which involves subcutaneous connective tissue and the nuchal ligament. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and pathology of camel onchocerciasis in Iran’s central desert. METHODS: Carcasses of 144 dromedary camels of both sexes ...
