Retrospective analysis of third degree perineal lacerations in 7 female camels (6-17 yrs of age) that were surgically corrected by one stage repair (Goetz technique) is presented. Majority (3/7) of the camels was primiparous and all parturitions had a history of calving assistance. Six (6/7) camels recovered by first intention of healing. Dehiscence of perineal structure occurred in only one ca...

Camel milk is a valuable source of protein and nutrients, it has therapeutic prophylactic properties. The production dry dairy products based on camel implies prolonging its shelf life, decrease in the cost transportation storage. To manufacture milk, necessary to optimize technological parameters drying, which affect physical-chemical Whole from camels (Camelus dromedarius) was dried spray dry...

Although both Dermatophilus congolensis and Microsporum gypseum infections have been reported separately in camels, mixed infection involving both agents has not been reported to date. The authors describe a mixed infection of D. congolensis and M. gypseum in camels reared on a dairy farm in Saudi Arabia. A total of 131 out of 559 camels (23.4%) were affected. Forty-eight camels less than one y...

In 2012, a novel coronavirus associated with severe respiratory disease in humans emerged in the Middle East. Epidemiologic investigations identified dromedary camels as the likely source of zoonotic transmission of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Here we provide experimental support for camels as a reservoir for MERS-CoV. We inoculated 3 adult camels with a human isola...

The Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) is proposed to be a zoonotic disease; however, the reservoir and mechanism for transmission of the causative agent, the MERS coronavirus, are unknown. Dromedary camels have been implicated through reports that some victims have been exposed to camels, camels in areas where the disease has emerged have antibodies to the virus, and viral sequences have ...

Casein micelles contribute to the physicochemical properties of milk and may also influence its functionality. At present, however, there is an incomplete understanding of the casein micelle associated proteins and its diversity among the milk obtained from different species. Therefore, milk samples were collected from seven dairy animals groups, casein fractions were prepared by ultracentrifug...

Camel is a universal agricultural animal with many versatile features that are beneficial to humans. Over the centuries, its place in socio-economic sphere has changed line lifestyle changes. Since beginning of twentieth century, due mechanization industries, role camels economic and transport sectors republic began decline. The development civilization weakened importance as productive desert ...

BACKGROUND Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) causes severe lower respiratory tract infection in people. Previous studies suggested dromedary camels were a reservoir for this virus. We tested for the presence of MERS-CoV in dromedary camels from a farm in Qatar linked to two human cases of the infection in October, 2013. METHODS We took nose swabs, rectal swabs, and blood...

Milk is considered a complete food because all of the nutrients important to fulfill newborn’s daily requirements are present, including vitamins and minerals, ensuring correct growth rate. A large amount global milk production represented by cow, goat, sheep milks; these species produce about 87% available over world. However, obtained minor dairy animal basic an family business in several par...

Received: Revised: Accepted: August 22, 2013 September 29, 2013 October 25, 2013 The aim of the study was to investigate and describe the clinical, parasitological haematological and biochemical findings induced by natural theileriosis in Camelus dromedarius. Sixty-seven out of 173 dromedary camels suffering clinically from fever, anorexia, swelling of the superficial lymph nodes, a rapid loss ...
