Abstract
Clinical, Immunological and Epidemiological Studies of Nasopharyngeal Myiasis in Camels slaughtered in Al-Muthanna Province
Highlights
The number of studies on camelids families in term of science and research has greatly increased
Clinical examinations of camels subjected to the study were showed a varied clinical signs as revealed in Table 1 In this table, the most clinical signs were observed in infected camels include frequent sneezing, snoring during breathing and congestion of mucous membranes in 38.7%, 36.6 % and 35.9 % respectively
While the less common signs were observed in infected camels are the enlargements of lymph node, increase heart rate and neurological signs in 1.8%,9.2% and 14% respectively
Summary
The number of studies on camelids families in term of science and research has greatly increased. Camels like other domestics animals are exposed to various pathogenic, infectious agents and disease (Borji et al, 2010). The herd growth and productivity of camels are restricted by various infectious agents such as parasites, which lead to mortality and high morbidity (Bekele, 2010). There are different types of ectoparasites that can affect the health of camels such as; sarcoptic mange, tick, and fly infestations (Oryan et al.,2008). Nasopharyngeal myiasis is one of the most important problems of camels due to their responsibility for significant economic losses due to the presence of the larvae of Cephalopina titillator, which is a common obligate parasite of the Oestridea family that attacks only camels (Abd El-Rahman,2010). In Iraq, camels were firstly infested with myiasis in 1977 (Abdul-Hab and Al-Affass,1977)
