| prevalence of neospora caninum and toxoplasma gondii antibodies in sera from camels (camelus dromedarius) in riyadh province, saudi arabia. | from april to december 2010, blood samples were collected from 412 healthy camels in riyadh province, saudi arabia and used to evaluate serological screening for neospora caninum and toxoplasma gondii infection by an indirect fluorescent antibody test (ifat). of the 412 camels, antibodies to n. caninum were found in sixteen in titers of 1:20 and in seven in titers of 1:40 using whole n. caninum tachyzoites as ifat slide (vmrd inc., pullman, wa 99163, usa). antibodies to t. gondii were found in n ... | 2011 | 21980764 |
| camel collision as a major cause of low cervical spinal cord injury. | one hundred and forty patients with low cervical spinal cord injuries, who were admitted to the riyadh armed forces hospital over the past 10 years were reviewed. motor vehicle accidents constituted 119 (85%) of the patients. camel collisions were a major cause of vehicle accidents 39 (33%), after rollover accidents 70 (59%), and much more than head on collisions 9 (7.5%). male to female ratio was 14:1 with a mean age of 32 years. camel collision although a commonly observed cause of motor vehic ... | 1998 | 9648198 |
| factors influencing the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in lactating dromedary camels in riyadh region, saudi arabia. | the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in camels in riyadh, saudi arabia and the factors influencing its incidence. a total of 740 quarter milk samples were collected from 47 camel herds belonging to majahim, maghatir, shu'l, and sufer breeds. california mastitis test (cmt) was used as a screening test for subclinical mastitis. samples giving negative or trace cmt scores (0) were assigned to healthy quarters, while those giving positive scores of 1+ to ... | 2011 | 21637994 |
| middle east respiratory syndrome (mers) coronavirus seroprevalence in domestic livestock in saudi arabia, 2010 to 2013. | in saudi arabia, including regions of riyadh and al ahsa, pseudoparticle neutralisation (ppnt) and microneutralisation (mnt) tests detected no antibodies to middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (mers-cov) in sheep (n= 100), goats (n= 45), cattle (n= 50) and chickens (n= 240). dromedary camels however, had a high prevalence of mers-cov antibodies. bovine coronavirus (bcov) infected sera from cattle had no cross-reactivity in mers-cov ppnt or mnt, while many dromedary camels’ sera reacted ... | 2013 | 24342517 |
| milk composition of majaheim camels. | to determine composition, milk samples were obtained at random from camels at two camel rearing areas near riyadh, saudi arabia. proximate analyses indicated 3.15% fat, 2.81% protein, 4.16% lactose, 10.95% total solids, .15% acidity, .83% ash, and 88.33% water. mineral composition was (milligrams per gram) 30.03, ca; 72.48, k; 43.10, na; .28, fe; .18, pb; and 4.50, mg. results should contribute to the overall knowledge of camels as a food source, but much still needs to be learned if efficient i ... | 1992 | 1460142 |
