Hormone measurements and histomorphological observations in male Bactrian camels
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Bactrian camel age on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis hormone and to determine the morphological changes of the testis. The Bactrian camels were divided into two groups based on their ages, including three years old (puberty) and six years old (adult).

Microsatellite markers of the major histocompatibility complex genomic region of domestic camels
We identified and characterized 11 polymorphic microsatellite markers suitable for routine testing (three in the MHC class I sub-region, four in MHC class II and four in the MHC class III sub-region) of dromedaries and Bactrian camels.

Whole-Transcriptome Sequencing and Differential Expression Analysis of the Epididymis in Junggar Bactrian Camels Before and After Sexual Maturity. [PDF]
The Junggar Bactrian camel, a primitive indigenous breed in China, exhibits low reproductive efficiency under natural grazing conditions. This is partly attributed to the development of the epididymis and the quality of semen, both of which directly ...

Risk factors of brucellosis seropositivity in Bactrian camels of Mongolia. [PDF]
More information on brucellosis epidemiology in Bactrian camels is needed due to their growing economic and livelihood importance for herders and renewed efforts in Mongolia to eliminate brucellosis through mass vaccination of ruminants excluding camels. Brucellosis prevalence in camels increased over the past two decades.
