Abstract

A 4.5-yr-old male dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) was evaluated for a mass on the right side of the face. A complete blood count and blood chemistry revealed anemia and hypoproteinemia. Radiographs did not reveal bony involvement. The mass was resected and Pythium insidiosum was cultured. The camel was treated with an experimental immunotherapeutic vaccine and with sodium iodide and ceftiofur. The camel began to lose weight postoperatively and died 6 mo later. At necropsy, the camel was found to have gastritis of the third compartment of the stomach with intralesional hyphae of this oomycete pathogen.

摘要

对一头4.5岁的雄性单峰骆驼（ Camelus dromedarius ）进行评估，其面部右侧有一肿块。全血细胞计数和血液化学检查显示贫血和低蛋白血症。X光片未显示有骨质受累。切除肿块并培养出了毁灭腐霉。用一种实验性免疫治疗疫苗以及碘化钠和头孢噻呋对这头骆驼进行了治疗。这头骆驼术后开始体重减轻，6个月后死亡。尸检时，发现这头骆驼第三胃室有胃炎，病灶内有这种卵菌病原体的菌丝。
