Article Synopsis
  • Trypanosomiasis causes tissue damage and triggers an immune response in camels, which can lead to metabolic and oxidative stress issues.
  • The study analyzed blood samples from 54 camels to compare immunological, antioxidant, and metabolic changes between healthy and infected groups, finding significant gene expression differences.
  • Results indicated specific up-regulation and down-regulation of genes related to immunity, metabolism, and antioxidants, along with changes in serum profiles that could help in managing trypanosomiasis in dromedary camels.

This research aims to identify regional differences in vildagliptin absorption across the intestinal membrane. Furthermore, it was to investigate the effect of verapamil or metformin on vildagliptin absorptive clearance. The study utilized an in situ rabbit intestinal perfusion technique to determine vildagliptin oral absorption from duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and ascending colon.

Purpose: The key objective of this study was to formulate a local combined inactivated gel adjuvanted vaccine containing bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV)-1, BVDV-2 viruses and type A toxoid. The study evaluated its ability to enhance protective active immune response in camels' calves against these infectious pathogens under field conditions.

Materials And Methods: The local BVDV cytopathic strains and a local strain of toxigenic type A were used in vaccines formulation.
