Review of Literature on Viral, Bacterial and Parasitic Diseases of the One-humped Camel (Camelusdromedarius

Abstract

The present document was prepared because the authentic and refereed literature on camel diseases is meager, and many contradicting literature is encountered in different diseases of camels. For these reasons an extensive and rigorous search of the literature was conducted on the viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases of camels. In this document only correct data are included and are documented and illustrated with figures of the clinical picture of the disease and the pathological changes caused by these diseases in different organs. We hope that the current research document will be useful to veterinarians practicing on camels, research workers interested in camel research, and veterinary students in the different universities. We also hope that this document will save them the effort of verifying correct and authentic information related to camel diseases.
