Occurrence of Anti-toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum Antibodies in Camels(Camelus dromedarius)in Center of Iran
During the period December 2008 to September 2009,we examined 254 serum samples (164 in hot-dry weather and 90 in cold-dry weather)from dromedary camels distrihuted all over the Yazd province,center of Iran.IgG antihodies were assayed by the modified agglutination test using whole tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii and Neosporacaninum,incorporating 2-mercaptoethanol.MAT and NAT,for T.gondii and N.caninum,respectively.Anti-T.gondii antibodies were found in 37 (14.56% )of 254 camels with titers of 1∶ 20 in 7,1∶ 40 in 6,1∶ 80 in 8,1∶ 160 in one.1∶ 200 in 4.1∶ 400 in 6.1∶ 800 in 4,and l∶ 1600 in one camel.Ten of 254 (3.94% )camel sera had antibodies to N.caninum with titers of l∶ 20 in 6 and l∶ 40 in 4 camels.There was no clifference betwee.n presence of antibodies for hoth parasites in male and female camels and in different weather conditions,but occurrence of anti-T.gondii antibodies was more in older camels.
