Atypical myopathy in 2 Bactrian camels. [PDF]
J Vet Diagn Invest, 2021 Atypical myopathy (AM) is an acute seasonal rhabdomyolysis seen primarily in equids, caused by the ingestion of sycamore maple samaras containing hypoglycin A (HGA) and methylenecyclopropyl-glycine (MCPG). Toxic metabolites inhibit acyl-CoA dehydrogenases and enoyl-CoA hydratases, causing selective hyaline degeneration of type I muscle fibers. Two zoo-

Reversible insulin resistance helps Bactrian camels survive fasting. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 AbstractCamels have hunger tolerance and can adapt to the severe environment of the desert. Through the comparison of insulin signalling pathway genes in different tissues in different eating periods (feeding, fasting and recovery feeding), it was found that IRS1, PIK3CB, PIK3R1 and SLC2A4 expression was significantly downregulated in the fore hump and

Identification and investigation of transposable elements in the Iranian bactrian camel genomes [PDF]
مجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2021 About half of the human genome is covered by repetitive sequences. These sequences have a large share in the other mammalian genomes, therefore studying this part of the genome can provide researchers valuable information on evolution.

Viral Metagenomic Analysis Reveals High Prevalence of Dromedary Camel Bocavirus and Porcine Astrovirus in Bactrian Camel Intestinal Tissue [PDF]
VirusesBactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus) are economically vital livestock in arid regions; however, their intestinal virome is poorly understood. We employed viral metagenomics to analyze intestinal tissue samples from deceased camels at a breeding facility ...

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus Seropositive Bactrian Camels, Mongolia. [PDF]
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis, 2021 Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a zoonotic disease that was first identified in humans in 2012 in Saudi Arabia. MERS-CoV causes acute and severe respiratory disease in humans. The mortality rate of MERS in humans is ∼35% and >800 deaths have been reported globally as of August 2020.

Kinetics of polychlorinated biphenyls in Bactrian camels [PDF]
Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2018 The study aimed to determine the accumulation and depuration of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in Bactrian camels. Four lactating, two-humped camels (Camelus bactrianus) received 0.8 mg PCBs (1.3 μg/kg body weight) daily for 56 days. Then, the depuration of the animals was monitored for the next 4 months.
