Abstract
Morphological and molecular identification of Parabronema skrjabini of camels (Camelus dromedary) in Najaf province
Highlights
Nematodes have cylindrical body variable in color and size, the length from millimeters to centimeters and usually female longer than male [1]
The current study was conducted during the period from September 2019 to December 2019, the number of examined samples 150 abomasums isolated from males 127 and females 23 to identify the species of Parabronema skrjabini that infected one-humped camel slaughtered in Al-Ashraf Najaf slaughterhouse
Different factors is affecting on the prevalence rate of abomasal worms, the results of the study in Al-Kut, raq by Al-Dahar and Al-Amery [10] observed high prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode in sheep, females 75.37% males 66.5%, because the adult sheep provided with high ability to resistance nematode's invasion compared to the young ages due to development of immunity response, on other hand the seasonal fluctuation associated with the activation of the intermediate host [6]
Summary
Nematodes (roundworms) have cylindrical body (unsegmented) variable in color and size, the length from millimeters to centimeters and usually female longer than male [1]. Parabronema skrjabini: one of the spirurida nematodes that infect abomasum of domesticated ruminants such as camel, cattle, sheep and goats. Yagoob et al [12] recorded 4.3% in sheep at baneh town/India Most researchers in their studies were depended on microscopical examination of faeces and adult worms [4]. Different factors is affecting on the prevalence rate of abomasal worms (age, sex, climate and immunity status), the results of the study in Al-Kut, raq by Al-Dahar and Al-Amery [10] observed high prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode in sheep, females 75.37% males 66.5%, because the adult sheep provided with high ability to resistance nematode's invasion compared to the young ages due to development of immunity response, on other hand the seasonal fluctuation associated with the activation of the intermediate host [6]. Epidemiologial studies of abomasal nematods are documented an annual temperature during year, which play an important role of larval development or arrested [9,11,12]
