Molecular Detection of in Naturally Infected Dromedary Camels () in Abu Dhabi Emirate, United Arab Emirates, 2019-2023.

The recent emergence of anaplasmosis in camels has raised global interest in the pathogenicity and zoonotic potential of the pathogen causing it and the role of camels as reservoir hosts. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), molecular studies and genetic characterization of camel-associated Anaplasma species are limited. This study aimed to characterize molecularly Anaplasmataceae strains circulating in dromedary camels in the UAE.

Molecular detection and characterization of a novel Theileria genotype in Dama Gazelle .

Wild animals play a critical role in maintenance and transmission of various tick-borne pathogens. It is essential to identify these wild host species that can serve as important reservoirs of tickborne diseases. In the present study we investigated Dama gazelle () as a potential novel reservoir of Theileria spp.

Comparison of Microscopy, Card Agglutination Test for , and Real-time PCR in The Diagnosis of Trypanosomosis in Dromedary Camels of The Abu Dhabi Emirate, UAE.

Introduction: Trypanosomosis is an important disease of dromedary camels caused by the pathogenic protozoan . This study aimed to compare three different tests for its diagnosis in this species: conventional microscopy, the card agglutination test for trypanosomosis/ (CATT/) and real-time PCR.

Material And Methods: Whole blood and serum samples collected from 77 dromedary camels of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, were analysed with the test methods stated.

Molecular Investigation on Tick-Borne Hemoparasites and in Dromedary Camels () in Al Dhafra Region of Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Camels represent an important resource for inhabitants of the most arid regions of the world and their survival is mainly related to environment conditions including the risk of parasitic diseases, which may represent a significant cause of losses in livestock production of these areas. Camels may be parasitized by several hematophagous arthropods, which can be vectors of several diseases including zoonosis. This study aimed to investigate in dromedary camels and their ticks the importance of tick-borne hemoparasites that might be responsible for a recent and obscure morbidity of camels in Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi, UAE.
