This study is designed to investigate the components of hydatid cyst fluid (HCF), the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus , that acted as antigens during infection in dromedary camels and to identify the antigenic fractions specific to this metacestode. Hydatid cysts were obtained from an infected slaughtered camel in Al-Ahsa central abattoir, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Crude antigen extract was prepared from hydatid cyst fluid (HCF). SDS-PAGE fractionation of HCF on 7-20% acrylamide gel revealed 11 protein fractions when stained by Commassie blue stain. The molecular weight of these fractions ranged from ~180 to 22KDa. Western immunoblotting against serum from the camel infected with hydatid cyst identified 4 antigenic components of molecular weight of ~180, 55, 48 and 22KDa. Reaction with sera collected from camels with parasitic infections other than E. granulosus and from healthy camels free from parasitic infections failed to identify any antigenic component of HCF apart from one component of 58kDa with serum from camels suffering from mixed infection of Nematodirus and strongyle worms. The rest of antigenic components identified by HCF infection serum seems to be specific to this larval stage.

The present study investigated the composition of blood leukocytes in the Magateer and Majaheem camel breeds using immune cell labeling and flow cytometry. In addition, the phagocytosis activity of blood neutrophils and monocytes were compared between the two breeds. Although the total number of leukocytes did not differ significantly between the two camel breeds, a significantly higher fraction and absolute number of neutrophils was observed in blood of the Majaheem breed compared to the Magateer breed. In contrast to this, the fraction of eosinophils was significantly lower in blood of the Majaheem than the Magateer breed. The comparison of lymphocyte composition between the two breeds revealed significantly more B cells (relative and absolute count) in blood of the Magateer breed camel than the Majaheem camels. The two breeds showed comparable phagocytosis activity for their neutrophils and monocytes. Collectively, the present study compared selected cellular immune parameters between the two main breeds of the dromedary camel and identified similarities and differences.

Transcorneal ultrasonographic scanning of 12 adult healthy camels of both sex were performed using linear array transducer on B-mode. The ultrasonographic appearance of the eye was described and ocular dimensions were recorded. The echo-biometric studies on four parameters i.e. anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), vitreous chamber depth (VCD) and axial length (AL) were recorded. The ultrasonography showed that the eyes of camels were appeared as slightly ovoid structures with anechoic contents such as anterior chamber, vitreous chamber and lens. The cornea, anterior and posterior lens capsule, iris, granula iridica/corpora nigra and sclera-retinal rim appeared as hyperechoic. Non-significant differences were found in all parameters when compared between right and left eyes of male and female camels. However, the anterior chamber depth in male camels were significantly higher than female camels P ≤ 0.05. The present study provides echo-morphometric view of the intra-ocular structure in adult healthy eyes of camels.
