Abstract | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A total offive hundred and sextey two (246 male and 316 female) blood and Faecal sampleswere collected from camels (Camelus dromedaries, 3-6 years) started at Fab. to Sep. 2011, from middle regions of KSA (Al-Riyadh, Snam and Ramah). A total of 445 (79.18%) camels were positive for infection with parasites (nematods and blood parasite); 284 (50.55%) infected with nematods (nematodirus and trichuris eggs), 161 (28, 64%) infected with blood parasites (Anaplasma marginale). Thin smears of blood samples showed Anaplasma marginale, in females camel (30.06%) more than males (26.83%). Packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin concentration (Hbc), and red blood cell counts (RBCs) were affected in the infected camels compared to the non-infected ones. Parasite infection in camels leads to macrocytic anaemia, which will negatively affect camel production and leading to death. Further studies on the prevalence of parasitosis in camel in KSA were recommended. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

تأثير الإصابة بالطفيليات على بعض المؤشرات الدموية فى الجمال
رجب محمد الخطيب , حبيب مقبول النخلى , کمال صابر مظلوم
هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى إجراء فحص لعينات روث ودم واجراء بعض المؤشرات الدموية على عينات دم غير متجلط تم جمعها من 562 جمل من الذکور والإناث عمر 3-6 سنوات وذلک ابتدءا من شهر فبراير حتى شهر سبتمبر 2011م من المنطقة الوسطى بالمملکة العربية السعودية (الرياض , سنام , رماح) لبيان مدى تأثير إصابة الجمال بالطفيليات على بعض المؤشرات الدموية. تم تسجيل عدد 445 جمل بنسبة (79.18%) ايجابية العدوى للإصابة بالطفيليات(ببويضات النيماتودا وطفيليات الدم). ومن مجموع الإصابات 284 جمل مصابة ببويضات النيماتودا (النيماتدريس والتريکيوريس) بنسبة (50.53%) وعدد161 جمل مصابة بطفيليات الدم بنسبة (28.64%) وأظهر فحص مسحات رقيقة من عينات الدم إن الإناث بها نسبة إصابة بطفيل الانابلازما مارجينال (30.06%) اعلي منها في الذکور (26.82%). وقد تأثرت المؤشرات الدموية (قياس نسبة الهيماتوکريت وقياس ترکيز الهيموجلوبين وعدد کريات الدم الحمراء) في الجمال المصابة عنها في الجمال غير المصابة. ووجد إن عدوى الطفيليات في الجمال تؤدى إلى حدوث الأنيميا مما ينعکس بالسلب على الإنتاج وبالتالي نفوق هذه الجمال وهذا يتطلب مزيد من الدراسة.
