Diagnosis of some respiratory diseases in camel calves
Abstract: A total of 53 lung tissues of slaughtered camel calves age about (9-12months old) from Kerdasa abattoir-Giza Governorate were used in this study. The lung tissues were subjected to bacteriological, virological and pathological examinations. The bacteriological findings revealed isolation of many of gram +ve and gram –ve bacteria like Staphulococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Actinomyces pyogenes, Diplococci pneumoniae, E.coli,Ppasteurella haemolytica, Yersinia enterocolitica, klebsiella spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.the percentage of their isolations were 16.98%,,47.16% 7.5%, 5.7%, 28.3%, 7.5%, 9.4%, 15.09% and 3.8% respictively. The isolates proved sensitive to enrofloxacin, gentamicin and ampicillin and resistant to amocycillin and neomycin.
Direct fluoroscent antibody technique (FAT) on lung tissue sections revealed that 4 cases of IBR (7.54%) 2 cases BVD (3.77%) and 2 cases BRS (3.77%) viral antigens.
The pathological examination showed 12 cases of non significant microscopic lesions and 41 cases suffered from different types of pneumonia (Harmorrhagic, necrotizing, fibrinous and bronchopneumonia) at the rate of 19 cases (35.8%), 6 cases (11.3%), 2 cases (3.8%) and 14 cases (26.4) respictevely. The pathological aspects of pneumonia in relation to bacterial and viral causes were studied and discussed.
