The study aimed to detect the prevalence of camel filariasis in Upper Egypt, the effect of age, sex, season, locality and periodicity of sampling and treatment of infested cases and also determines the diagnostic technique for detection of the parasite. The study carried out on a total number of 350 camels (Camelus dromedarius) belonged to different Governorates in Upper Egypt including Assuit, Sohag, Asswan and El-wady El-gaded, by using the following methods for diagnosis of camel filariasis, wet blood film, thin blood film, thick blood film and concentration technique (Knott's technique). From the total number of examined camels (13 out of 350) camels were positive by blood film in percentage of 3.71%. The highest percentage of infection was recorded in El-Wady El-gaded Governorate (10.83%), hot season showed 4.96%, female more susceptible (7.79%) than male (2.56%), local breed more susceptible 5.9 …

The aim of this study is to identify the causative protozoan parasites infecting dogs in Egypt by discussing the clinical signs, hemato-biochemical, oxidative stress, and the pro-inflammatory markers alterations in Canine leishmaniosis (CanL). A total of 100 dogs of different breeds were collected from January to December 2020. The age of the dogs ranged between 3and 10 years. All the 100 dogs suffered from signs compatible with vector-borne diseases. Only one reported case was recorded for infection with CanL from 100 examined dogs (1% infection rate). The dog was 7 years old female German Sphered dog with significant weight loss, depression, pyrexia (temp= 40º), lameness on hind limbs, severe respiratory manifestations, and skin ecchymosis in the ventral abdomen, tail, and hind leg with lymphadenopathy. It had marked leukocytosis, neutrophilia, and monocytosis. Normocytic normochromic anemia and thrombocytopenia were also observed. The most important biochemical changes in the serum were mild hyperproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperglobulinemia, elevated liver and kidney function, elevation in C-reactive protein and malondialdehyde level and reduction in total antioxidant capacity.

Rotavirus is an enteritis causing pathogen in neonatal calves. A total number of 175 neonatal enteric calves were clinically examined.
Their feces were sampled to rapidly serotested for Rotavirus detection. The clinical findings on Rotavirus diarrheic calves were
anorexia, weakness, arched back with straining during defecation, variable degree of dehydration. Feces were pasty yellowish with
and/or without flakes of clotted blood. Body temperature, respiratory and heart rates were varying. The collected fecal samples were
serotested by Latex agglutination test (LAT) and Immunochromatographic assay (ICA). Results of LAT and ICA indicated that the positive
samples of Rotavirus infection were 9.68% and 8.54%, respectively. It is concluded that Rotavirus infection plays an outstanding
role in enteritis of neonatal calves of Assiut Governorate and control measures should be attained. LAT and ICA are effortlessly field
serotests in screening of Rotavirus infection in diarrheic neonatal calves.
