“…The decrease in total proteins and albumin in dromedary camels is consistent with previously published papers (Kamal, 2008;Salem et al, 2012, Almujali andAl Ghamdi, 2012;Al Ghamdi, 2013). The hypoproteinemia may be caused by a decline in albumin.…”

“…As a crucial indicator of animal health, various haematological parameters can be relied upon for the diagnosis and treatment of camel diseases (Kamal, 2008). Previous studies (Salem et al, 2012, Almujali andAl Ghamdi, 2012;Al Ghamdi, 2013) demonstrating the same effect in dromedary camels confirmed the significant decrease in Hb. Weiss and Goodnough (2005) concluded from these results that the infected camels were anemic.…”

This study aimed to shed light on the most important bacteria that cause respiratory manifestations and their effect on inflammatory cytokines in camels, and their relationship with other immunological parameters such as Acute Phase Proteins, complement, and immunoglobulins. Lung specimens (n = 572) were collected for this investigation, with normal lungs identified in 390 (68.18%) serving as a control group, and pneumonic camel lung samples (n = 182; 31.82%) classified as the diseased group, all of which were collected from slaughterhouses in Egypt's North Western Coast. The isolates comprised nine genera of pathogenic bacteria;

Johne's disease (JD) is a World Animal Health Organization (OIE)-listed disease of ruminants including camels with serious economic impacts worldwide. A cross-sectional serological survey involving multistage simple random sampling was conducted to investigate the prevalence of JD in camels of Oman. In total, 2255 camels (254 males and 2001 females) and different ages from 553 geographically marked holdings were bled for serum. The samples were analyzed by a commercial indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with protein 'G' as conjugate (LSI VET Ruminant Serum Paratuberculosis Advanced, France). Results indicated a widespread herd and individual level seroprevalence, respectively of 9.2 % (95 % CI = 0.7-50) and 2.6 % (95 % CI = 2.0-3.4) in Oman. Differences (p < 0.01) were observed regarding the prevalence of JD in sampled governorates, and the highest prevalence was recorded in Dhofar (13.5 %). Higher (p > 0.05) seroprevalence was observed in females (2.8 %), and their odds for testing positive were 3.69 (95 % confidence interval (CI) = 0.90-15.23) times higher as compared to males (0.8 %). Seropositivity increased with the age of camels, and the highest prevalence (4.4 %) was observed in camels of more than 10 years of age (p = 0.03). Large and medium size herds (odds ratio (OR) = 1.77, 95 % CI = 0.96-3.24) where camels were kept as single species (OR = 1.54, 95 % CI = 0.84-2.84) and confined (OR = 1.93, 95 % CI = 1.05-3.54) were found more likely to test positive. This is the first record of seroprevalence of JD among the camels in the country which highlights their potential as an important host of the disease. The results advocate that a comprehensive control program based upon further risk analysis and molecular study should be devised in Oman.
