Camels from the central part of Iraq are infected with multiple parasitic diseases that have an economic impact by decreasing meat and milk production. This study aimed to evaluate spp. in camels ().
The study animals consisted of camels slaughtered in the central area of Iraq at the Al-Najaf slaughterhouse. All ages and sexes of camels were examined. Worms were recovered and identified microscopically. For molecular characterization, two Iraqi spp. partial ribosomal genes (ITS1 and ITS2) were sequenced and submitted to the NCBI database.
Of 160 camels tested, 29 were infected with spp. (18.13%). Twenty-one nematodes containing the genes were identified in the small intestines of naturally infected camels. BLAST analysis revealed 88.1% sequence similarity with that of isolated in China and 87.2% similarity with isolated in the United States.
The prevalence of warrants the use of anti-helminthic drugs for these animals and a rationale for future control strategies to prevent the transmission of this infection to other livestock.
伊拉克中部的骆驼感染了多种寄生虫病，这些疾病通过降低肉类和牛奶产量而产生经济影响。本研究旨在评估骆驼体内的 spp.（）。
研究动物包括在伊拉克中部地区纳杰夫屠宰场宰杀的骆驼。对所有年龄和性别的骆驼进行了检查。通过显微镜检查回收并鉴定蠕虫。为进行分子特征分析，对两个伊拉克 spp. 的部分核糖体基因（ITS1 和 ITS2）进行了测序，并提交至 NCBI 数据库。
在 160 头接受检测的骆驼中，29 头感染了 spp.（18.13%）。在自然感染骆驼的小肠中鉴定出 21 条含有 基因的线虫。BLAST 分析显示，其与在中国分离的 的序列相似性为 88.1%，与在美国分离的 的相似性为 87.2%。
的流行情况表明应对这些动物使用抗蠕虫药物，并且为未来预防这种感染传播给其他家畜的控制策略提供了依据。
