Abstract
The study was carried on 286 Arabian one-humped camels (Camelus dromedaries) of both sexes, selected randomly over a geographic region. The camels were between 1–5 years old, 241 out of 286 were selected clinically as anemic camels (tachycardia, pale mucous membranes, bounding or weak peripheral pulses, icteric, weakness and anorexia while the rest number(45) were served as control camels .
Examination of 241 clinical anemic camels selected from three localities in New-Valley Governorate and classified into three groups according to localities, examined for external and internal parasites, revealed that 46 out of 81(56.79 %) , 49 out of 80 (61.29%) and 44 out of 80 (57.68%) from groups A,B,C, respectively were positive for parasitic infestation associated with clinical signs of anemia .
The aim of this study was to throw a light on the type of parasites that affect the camels and rate of infection in various areas in the New Valley governorate , evaluate the impact of external and internal parasites on the blood (Hematological and chemical), assess the relationship between parasitic infections in camels and the immune system by measuring the level of vitamin C and E, the relationship between parasitic infections in single-humped camels and some metal as (copper and iron) and assess the degree of parasitic infection and severity of anemia.
The selected camels were suffering from clinical anemia and infected with different type of external and internal parasites by laboratory examination.
RBCs (x1012/l); The mean of RBCs count in parasitic camels groups in this study recorded significant decreased in camel infected with gastrointestinal helminthes, blood parasites, external parasites and mixed infection parasites as compared with control healthy camels.
WBCs (x109/l) ; The mean of WBCs count in parasitic camels groups in this study recorded significant increase in camel infected with gastrointestinal helminthes, blood parasites, external parasites and mixed infection parasites as compared with control healthy camels.
HB (g/dl); The mean of hemoglobin in parasitic camels groups recorded significant decrease in camel infected with gastrointestinal helminthes, blood parasites, external parasites and mixed infection parasites as compared with control healthy camels.
PCV(%);The mean of packed cell volume in parasitic camels groups recorded significant decrease in camel infected with gastrointestinal helminthes, blood parasites, external parasites and mixed infection parasites as compared with control healthy camels.
MCV (fl/cell);The mean of mean corpuscular volume in parasitic camels groups recorded significant decrease in camel infected with mixed parasites and no significant change in camels infected with other type of parasites as compared with control healthy camels.
MCH (pg/dl) ; The mean of mean corpuscular hemoglobin in parasitic camels groups recorded significant decrease in camels with mixed infection parasites as compared with control healthy camels and no significant change in camels infected with other type of parasites.
MCHC (g/dl) ;The mean of mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration in parasitic camels groups recorded no significant changes in camel infected groups as compared with control healthy camels
Blood serum vitamin E (ug/dl);The mean of vitamin E in infected camels with different parasites were recorded significant increase in camels infected with gastrointestinal parasites, blood parasites , external parasites and mixed parasites as compared with control healthy camels
. Blood serum vitamin C (mg/dl);The mean of vitamin C in infected camels with different parasites were recorded significant decrease in camels infected with gastrointestinal parasites, blood parasites , external parasites and mixed parasites as compared with control healthy camels.
Blood serum iron (ug/dl); The mean of serum iron in infected camels with different parasites were recorded significant decrease in camels infected with gastrointestinal parasites, blood parasites ,external parasites and mixed parasites as compared with control healthy camels.
Blood serum copper (ug/dl);The mean of serum copper in infected camels with different parasites was recorded significant decrease in camels infected with gastrointestinal parasites, blood parasites , external parasites and mixed parasites
