Pathological studies on pneumonia in camels
Abstract: From 500 camel's lungs collected from Cairo Abattoir, 70 cases showed pathological changes in an incidence of 14% . Proliferative and exudative changes were the most frequent histopathological changes notice in camels, such changes occurred either alone or in association with other reactions in the form of pneumoconiosis and emphysema. Proliferation of the bronchial epithelium , interstitial tissue as well as lymphoid tissue were usually demonstrated. In addition, bronchitis, peribronchitis and pneumoconiosis were also recorded.
Five isolates of mycoplasma were obtained from pneumonic lungs (7.14%). Four isolates were identified as M. arginini and one as A. laidlawii.
