One of the most common frogs found in the richly diverse Amazon Basin is Camelus dromedarius, the camel. This large ruminating hoofed mammal, also known as Arabian camel, Dromedary Camel, One-Humped Camel, lives throughout the deserts of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Yemen, and Africa (Abdelhamid, 2014). “Dromedarius” is a large, even-toed ungulate with one hump on its back (El-Bahrawy, 2015). This animal has a normal mammal life reproduction cycle, and a historical evolution. It is now a part
Australian Camels The livestock of man has been distributed throughout the world. Horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and goats can be found on every continent of the planet, with the exception of Antarctica. These common animals supply man with food, materials, and transportation. For thousands of years men have bred these animals for specific purposes. Horses have been bred for work and racing. Cattle have been selectively bred to supply more meat and live in different conditions.
Life Along The Silk Road During the outward-looking rule of China's Tang dynasty (seventh-ninth century C. E. ), sophisticated people in northeastern Iran developed such a taste for expensive, imported Chinese pottery that they began to imitate it in great quantity for sale to people who could not afford the real thing. And in northern China there was a vogue for beautiful pottery figurines of camels laden with caravan goods or ridden by obviously non-Chinese merchants, musicians, or entertainers
total of six camelids, two of which are the Bactrian and dromedary camel, the most useful of this group is, “the domesticated, one-humped dromedary” (“Camels and Llamas”). Humans tend to rely on the domesticated dromedary camel for food, wool, fiber, and labor rather than the wild Bactrian, who has not yet been tamed. The most distinguishing difference between the Bactrian and dromedary is that the Bactrian has two humps while the dromedary has a single hump centered on its back, but other characteristics
actually affected almost all of the world. According to an article from LiveScience, a credible source for background on a variety of discoveries and facts, “ Camels: Facts, Types & Pictures”, there are different types of camels: the Dromedary and the Bactrian. The Dromedary camel also known as Camelus dromedarius, has one hump, the Bactrian camel also known as Camelus bactrianus, which has two humps. The humps of both camels are to store fat and and water.
sources implicates dromedary camels as natural hosts and the likely source of zoonotic transmission of MERS-CoV. In camels, MERS-CoV infection has a benign course. However, each of the infected camels shed large quantities of virus from the upper respiratory tract. Infectious viral particles were detected in nasal secretions up to 7 days and viral RNA up to 35 days post inoculation. This pattern of shedding and propensity for the upper respiratory tract infection in dromedary camels may help explain
The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a positive-strand RNA virus belonging to the C lineage of the Betacoronavirus genus. Since its identification in 2012 in a patient from Saudi Arabia, there have been seven hundred one laboratory-confirmed cases of MERS-CoV in eight different countries, boasting an alarming thirty-five percent patient fatality rate. Both alphacoronaviruses (alphaCoVs) and betacoronaviruses (betaCoVs) have been known to cause human disease, but a majority
to this, research has been conducted into the origins of MERS-CoV and with the conflicting ideas of human-human transmission it may be more viable to eliminate the virus where the zoonotic transmission is occurring. With the current link between dromedary camels and MERS-CoV cases it is possible to develop procedures and policies which could eliminate the transmission via this means. Further study would most likely be required to develop similar procedures with, what is recognized as the main source
Corona Virus Introduction Different human societies spread across the world have certain unique challenges that tend to affect them. Some of these challenges due to the differences in the climatic conditions being experienced in those places. One of those common challenges that face people is sicknesses. Different places tend to experience different environmental hazards, which can be attributed to the different climatic conditions. According to Rai et al. (2014), coronavirus is known to be a special
