| onchocerca armillata railliet and henry, 1909 and onchocerca gutturosa (neumann, 1910) in camels (camelus dromedarius l.) in the sudan. | a study undertaken to determine the onchocerca species infecting camels that live in the same localities as cattle in the dinder region, blue nile province, sudan revealed concurrent infections with the bovine parasites onchocerca armillata in the thoracic aorta, brachiocephalic trunks and brachial arteries and onchocerca gutturosa in the ventral side of the lamellar parts of the ligamentum nuchae. the microfilariae of both species had the same predilection sites in the skin of the ears, head an ... | 1988 | 3222922 |
| real lives 2: sudan. | the great sudan famine of the mid-1980s caused social dislocation and political chaos which ultimately toppled the long-time military leader. hundreds of thousands of farmers and pastoralists were displaced, driven from the western provinces into urban feeding stations and squatter settlements. camps at abu zayd and mwellih near umdurman filled with over 100,000 refugees in a matter of months, while camps at ed debba on the nile river's nubian reach filled with tribesmen desperate to sell shee ... | 1994 | 12319114 |
| natural exposure of dromedary camels in sudan to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (bovine herpes virus-1). | the occurrence of bovine herpes virus-1 (bhv-1) in camels was studied. a total of 186 pneumonic camel lungs were collected from slaughter houses at four different areas in sudan during 2000-2006. using sandwich elisa 1.6% of 186 tested lungs were found positive for bhv-1 antigen, all were from tambool at central sudan. direct fluorescent antibody test (fat) was used to confirm the bhv-1 elisa positives, all elisa positives were also positive. pcr was used to detect bhv-1 genome with three positi ... | 2009 | 19433051 |
| current situation of peste des petits ruminants (ppr) in the sudan. | the current situation of ppr in sudan was investigated. a total of 61 tissue samples were collected from various ppr suspected outbreaks in sheep in sudan during 2008. collected tissue samples were tested for ppr antigen using icelisa, ppr antigen was detected in 26 out of 61 samples (42.6%). highest antigen detection rate was in specimens collected from western sudan. a total of 1198 serum samples were collected from sheep (n = 500), camels (n = 392), and goats (n = 306) from different areas in ... | 2010 | 19548103 |
| molecular epidemiology of camel trypanosomiasis based on its1 rdna and rotat 1.2 vsg gene in the sudan. | internal transcribed spacer one (its1) of the ribosomal dna is known to be a suitable target for pcr-based detection of trypanosomes. the analysis of this region provides a multi-species-specific diagnosis by a single pcr. using its1 primer-based pcr, a cross sectional study was carried out in the period from september to november 2009 on samples collected from 687 camels from geographically distinct zones in the sudan to detect all possible african trypanosomes, which can infect camels. | 2011 | 21375725 |
| A molecular survey on cystic echinococcosis in Sinnar area, Blue Nile state (Sudan). | Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis caused by the cestodes of the Echinococcus species. Its life cycle involves dogs and other canids as definitive hosts for the intestinal tapeworm, as well as domestic and wild ungulates as intermediate hosts for the tissue-invading metacestode (larval) stage. The disease has a special impact on disadvantaged pastoralist communities and is listed now among the three top priority neglected tropical disease (NTD). Therefore, CE is a neglected disease even in ... | 2011 | 22040487 |
