The PCR for amplification of virulence genes revealed that 31 (64.58%) isolates harboured at least one virulence gene. The detection rates of stx1, stx2, eae, F41, K99 and sta virulence genes were 4.16%, 2.08%, 35.41%, 14.58%, 18.75% and 16.66%, respectively. Based on occurrence of these virulence genes the isolates were pathotyped into shigatoxigenic E. coli (STEC) (6.25%), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) (20.83%) and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) (29.16%). Atypical combinations of EPEC+ETEC (8.33%) were also detected. The E. coli isolates from all three neonatal camels having acute haemorrhagic enteritis and mortality were found to be of STEC type. In antibiotic sensitivity test, most prevalent resistance was observed against amoxicillin, cloxacillin, erythromycin and lincomycin whereas lowest resistance was observed against gentamicin and amikacin. Findings of this study indicate that neonatal camels are the probable reservoir of multidrug resistant and zoonotic STEC. Young age (below 7 days), housing system with loose sandy ground and winter season were identified as important risk factors for high incidence of neonatal camel calf diarrhoea in the present study.","PeriodicalId":15097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Camel Practice and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71073497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OPN mRNA expression and its location was analysed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques, respectively. OPN mRNA expression was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the cauda of epididymis than other epididymal parts and testis. Immunolocalisation revealed high immunoreaction intensity in the elongated spermatids in seminiferous tubules and Leydig cells in interstitial tissue. However, a faint immunostaining was seen in spermatogonia and Sertoli cells. Along the epididymis tract, intense immunoreactivity of OPN was localised in the cytoplasm of the epithelial cells with high concentration in the apical region nearby lumen and the acrosomal part of the cauda epididymal sperms. Immunofluorescence and immunochromogenic staining of OPN was detected on the acrosomal cap and neck of epididymal sperms.

In order to further understand the epidemic situation of the disease in main production areas of Bactrian camels in Inner Mongolia, China, from May to October 2021, 3 areas with severe incidences in Alxa Left Banner, Urad North Banner and Durbed Banner were selected for epidemiological investigation. Total of 2038 female camels in 21 camel herds were investigated. The results showed that the overall prevalence rate was 26.6%, the highest incidence group reached 82.6%, while the lowest group was only 1.4%. The prevalence rates of Bactrian camel genital myiasis in Alxa Left Banner, Urad North Banner and Durbed Banner was 28.0%, 23.8% and 23.7%, respectively. The pathogen of Bactrian camel genital myiasis is Wohlfahrtia magnifica , and the highest prevalence often occurs in July to August in each year. The prevalence rate in female camels under 5 year-old was lower than that of in adult camels, and it was highest in female camels between 5-15 years old and give birth 2-4 times and no deaths were found. The prevalence rate in free-range female camels was higher than that in half-house-raised camels, and the morbidity was lowest in fully-housed female camels. Camels grazing on pastures near the lakes and riverbanks had higher morbidity than that of in camels grazing on other pastures. Therefore, the morbidity of genital myiasis in Bactrian camels is significantly affected by age, number of deliveries, feeding method, different regions and pasture types.","PeriodicalId":15097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Camel Practice and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71073131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was aimed to explore the analytical estimates of changes in epitope composition among MERS-CoV lineages. This can be used as a predictor of the effectiveness of rapid diagnostic testing. Therefore, MERS-CoV lineage-specific spike protein sequences were extracted, aligned and compared. In addition, the degree of sequence similarity, as well as pairwise comparison, phylogenetic relations and antigenic epitopes analysis, have been conducted. The current findings indicated that no differences were observed in length and range of epitopes for each virus among all studied lineages. Most of epitopes sequences were conserved. However, few sequences showed few single amino acid mutations. About 20% of epitopes were located at the receptor-binding domain (RBD) and 80% of these were located in the other Spike`s domains. These mutations were related to lineage 2 and 3 and not for lineage 1, 4 and 5.
