purification and characterization of a novel acid-soluble nuclear protein from developing embryos of the camel tick hyalomma dromedarii (acarina: ixodidae).a novel acid-soluble protein has been extracted from nuclei of developing embryos of h. dromedarii ticks and purified to homogeneity. this tick embryo basic protein (tebp) was predominant during the cleavage stage of tick embryogenesis, whereas the complete set of histones was detectable at the late cleavage stage. the amount of tebp reaches a maximum value at day 9 after oviposition. thereafter, the original n-terminal dipeptide (leucine-serine) is eliminated. this coincides with the start of o ...19957766687
first report on the isolation of brucella abortus biovar 3 from camel (camelus dromedarius) in the sudan.three isolates of brucella abortus biovar 3 were recovered out of 38 different samples obtained from free-ranging camels (camelus dromedarius) in eastern sudan. the biochemical characters of the isolates were identical to those of the other types of b. abortus except that they were oxidase negative.19947770659
efficacy of cymelarsan in the treatment of natural chronic trypanosoma evansi infection in camels in the sudan.the efficacy of cymelarsan, administered by intramuscular (i/m) injection in the treatment of chronic cases of camel trypanosomosis due to trypanosoma evansi, was tested under controlled laboratory conditions. it was confirmed that cymelarsan is a safe drug for use in dromedary camels when administered i/m at dose rates of 0.25 or 0.50 mg/kg body weight. during the 90 days post-treatment no relapses occurred at either dose rate. hence, the drug was found to be fully effective against the chronic ...19947770663
potential hazards associated with influenza virus vaccines.there is general agreement that human reassortant vaccine strains should be used only for the preparation of the viral glycoproteins (split vaccine), and not in toto after uv-inactivation. live vaccines with lowered pathogenicity obtained by reassortment between human and avian strains may carry a risk of causing epizootics in other species, even though they are useful for the host for which they were designed. it has been argued that this dangerous situation is avoided when both parent strains ...19957796968
evaluation of halothane as an anaesthetic in camels (camelus dromedarius).halothane as an anaesthetic was evaluated in 12 adult camels, thiopentone being used as an induction agent. in six camels, clinical signs and haematological and blood biochemical changes were investigated while in other six haemodynamic, acid base and blood gas changes were monitored. the dose of thiopentone required to ensure intubation for halothane anaesthesia was 7.25 +/- 0.33 mg/kg. a modified technique of tracheal intubation was found to be safe and quick. during halothane administration a ...19947817638
effect of milking interval on secretion rate and composition of camel milk in late lactation.the effect of milking interval on secretion rates of milk and milk constituents was studied in four milking camels during late lactation. an interval of 4 h produced the highest milk secretion rate compared with 8, 12 and 16 h intervals, and rates tended to decline with increasing milking intervals. secretion rates of organic (lactose, snf, fat and protein) and inorganic milk constituents (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium) generally followed similar patterns of decreasing secretion with ...19947829750
