All researchers are welcome to send camel sera from suspected areas together with retropharngeal and/ or supramammary lymph nodes. Sera will be screened with the buffered acidified plate antigen test and confirmed with the complement fixation test. Lymph nodes will be bacteriological examined for Brucella and isolates identified to the biovar level. The sender will be responsible for sending the samples by a suitable means according to the international regulations. Lab testing will be performed at no charge to the sender. Any additional lab work can be arranged for by the cooperating parties. Results will be included in a collaborative publication. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Hello Dr Sayour,
you may want to download and read a conference paper I did a few years ago:
Conference Paper: Clinical observations on the "wry-neck" syndrome or torticollis in the camel (Camelus dromedarius) population of Kenya and Sudan. Maurizio Dioli
Because of the possible relationship of brucellosis and "wry-neck" syndrome it would be very interesting if whoever provide you samples could mention if the animal was also affected by any form of "torticollis" of "wry-neck"
Hello Dr. Dioli,
It is a great privilege to know a scientist who is interested in camels like you are. I'm interested in all your work that I'll download later when I have the time. I'm about to publish a research paper on camel brucellosis and I'd love to work further on this important topic.
Best regards
