Twelve cadaveric hind limbs were obtained from 6 clinically sound adult dromedary camels without hind limb lameness. Cadaveric stifles were scanned by 1.5 Tesla MRI system using T1-weighted, T2-weighted, proton density gradient echo and short Tau inversion recovery sequences in 3 planes. After imaging, stifles were frozen at – 18°C for 2 weeks, then sectioned in sagittal, dorsal or transverse planes. Optimal MRI images from different sequences and planes were evaluated and correlated to their corresponding gross anatomic slices. Descriptive findings of the articular cartilage, subchondral bone, cruciate ligaments, menisci, menisco-tibial and menisco-femoral ligaments, long digital extensor tendon, and patellar ligament were reported. The high-field MRI protocol described in this study provided high spatial and contrast resolution of the osseous and soft tissue structures of the dromedary camel stifle joint. Data obtained in this study could be used as normal reference standards for evaluation of the dromedary camel stifle in clinical situations.","PeriodicalId":15097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Camel Practice and Research","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71073459","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}

Follicular fluids and sera were collected from animals who had follicles size 0.5–1.0 cm (small; n = 10), >1.0–1.6 cm (medium; n = 10) and >1.6–2.0 cm (large; n = 10) which were present in absence or presence of oversize follicles. Follicular fluids and sera were subjected to biochemical and hormonal analysis. Results revealed increased concentrations of oestradiol 17-β (E2) of follicular fluid from the various size antral predominant follicle which existed in the absence of oversize follicle. A significant (P<0.01) high concentration of P4 present in the follicular fluid of small size predominant follicle coexisted with the oversize follicle. A highly significant cortisone concentration was recorded in follicular fluid of small, medium and large predominate existing in absence of oversize follicles. The insulin like growth factor II (IGF-II) and general thyroxine in the follicular fluid from the small follicles that exist in the absence of the oversize follicles were significantly lower (P<0.0001) compared with that of the small follicles that coexisted with the oversize follicle. Ultra-sensitivity triiodothyronine concentrations were significantly high in follicular fluid collected from predominant small and medium size follicle (P<0.001and P<0.0001, respectively) existing in absence of oversize follicle. In conclusion, the presence of an oversize follicle alters hormonal and biochemical constituents of follicular fluid of predominant follicle coexist with it.","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":"71073581","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}

A total of 102 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy camels, of varying ages and sex, from three different areas of the Taif region. The blood samples were investigated using Giemsa-stained blood smears and species-specific Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (targeting 18S rRNA and the major surface protein–1β encoding genes for Babesia and A. marginale , respectively). The overall prevalence was 64.70% with a higher infection rate of Anaplasma (46.10%) than Babesia sp. (18.62%). In addition, there is a co-infection of both pathogens with prevalence rate 19.70%. According to age: the infection rate was highly significant in the younger animals (≤5 years) (33.33% and 58.97%) than older animals (>5 years) (9.52% and 38.09%) for Babesia and Anaplasma , respectively at p> 0.05. On the other hand, according to gender, the infection rate in males (29.73% and 72.97%) was higher than in females (12.31% and 30.77%) for Babesia and Anaplasma sp., respectively at p> 0.05. In conclusion, the present study adds insight into the epidemiology of babesiosis and anaplasmosis in the Taif region, Makkah Province of Saudi Arabia that needs control strategies to focus on the livestock.","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":"71073421","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}
