Diarrhea in newborn calves as well as in adult dromedary camels is considered the most serious constrains of camel production. It is recorded in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia to be very high, therefore, it is necessary to investigate the role of certain pathogenic agents. In the present study, group A rotavirus was detected in 5/50 (10%) and 6/50 (12%) diarrheic samples collected from one- to three-month-old camel calves using immune chromatographic and ELISA techniques, respectively. The characteristic wheel-like morphology of rotavirus particles was identified in the positive samples by electron microscopy. Also, Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis was detected …

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is caused by a virus related to the family Birnaviridae. The virus is a worldwide pathogen and causes immunosuppression and great losses in broiler flocks. In this study, molecular characterization of two Saudi Arabian IBDVs (IBD01/14/SA and IBD02/14/SA) was carried out by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and partial sequence of hypervariable region of VP2 gene. Nucleotide sequences of 740-bp PCR product of the Saudi Arabian isolates were compared with the corresponding nucleotide sequence of 56 reported IBDVs representing different pathotypes from different continents. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Saudi Arabian isolates were split from …
