Zinc deficiency was diagnosed in a sheep farm in Khartoum Province; the young sheep and lambs were mostly affected. Skin lesions, depression, wool eating, flexed knees and a markedly stiff gait were observed. Histopathology of the skin revealed mainly hyperkeratosis accompanied sometimes by parakeratosis. The animals responded rapidly to oral administration of zinc oxide.
The most important diseases reported in the Sudan are trypanosomiasis and helminthoses. Sarcoptic mange and tick infestation also occur. Since there has been relatively little research on diseases other than trypanosomiasis, the creation of a camel research institute is proposed.
76 adult camel (30 males and 46 females) sera were surveyed for the normal activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine phospho-kinase (CPK), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The values recorded for the above enzymes were compared to other data in the literature.
Les auteurs ont testé dans les conditions de contrôle en laboratoire, l'efficacité du Cymelarsan® administré par voie intramusculaire (i.m.), dans le traitement des cas chroniques de trypanosomose cameline naturelle à Trypanosoma evansi. Il est confirmé que le Cymelarsan® administré par voie intramusculaire à des doses de 0,25 ou 0,50 mg/kg de poids vif est un médicament sûr pour le dromadaire. Pendant les 90 jours qui ont suivi le traitement, aucune rechute n'a été observée, avec l'une ou l'autre posologie. Ce médicament est donc pleinement efficace contre les formes chroniques de la maladie naturelle et la dose de 0,25 mg/kg de poids vif en i.m. est recommandée.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
