Subject : Elucidation of the possible causes of camels’ death in some regions of Saudi Arabia using biochemical, microbiological, toxicological and immunological approaches 
Document Language : Arabic 
Abstract : Recent reports announced by the Saudi Ministry of Agriculture indicate toxins in animal feed rather than any contagious disease are to blame for the deaths of more than 3,000 camels, cows and goats in different parts of the Kingdom over the past two months. Laboratories examinations both inside and outside Saudi Arabia showed that the samples contained salinomycin – a growth promotants - which is poisonous to camel, as well as another toxic fungus aspergillus clavatus which may affect the immune system specially CD8 T-lymphocytes that may render the animal susceptible to infectious agents such as viruses. So, we aim to elucidate the cause of the intoxication by doing a full microbiological examination including viral, bacterial and fungal analysis as well as heavy metal determination in blood, urine and tissue samples from diseased animals. Immunological and full plasma chemistry examinations will also be carried out to determine the effect of the disease on the immune system of the affected animals.
