“…Prevalence of camel mange in the current study was 30.2% at kebribeyah district. This is in agreement with the nding reported by different authors in Ethiopia although there is variation in the level of mange in such report work done (32.4%) by (22), in Eastern Ethiopia (27.8%) by ( 3) in Borana, Southern Ethiopia (25%) by (21) in Borana, Southern Ethiopia (28%) by (31) in Saudi Arabia. However, this prevalence was lower than several studies conducted in different parts of the world such as Egypt (47.6%) by ( 32) Jorden (83%) by (33).…”

Camel mange is an extremely pruritic and contagious disease of camel caused by a small parasite Sarcoptes scabiei var cameli, It mostly affects the head, neck, flanks, inner side of the thighs and inguinal region of the animal. It is transmitted by direct or indirect contact, is one of the most important parasitic diseases affecting camels. Camel mange is economically important disease that hinders productivity and health of camel. Therefore, a cross sectional study was conducted between March to September 2021 to determine prevalence of camel mange mites and associated risk factors. A total of 384 animals were randomly selected and subjected to skin scrapings to recover mange from suspected lesions which was later on examined under microscope, out of the complete camels examined 116 (30.2%) camels were found positive for mange mite infestation. Only Sarcoptes scabiei var cameli was identified as the only mite species in all skin scraping samples collected from the suspected mange mite lesions. PA, sex and age showed no significant variation on mange infestation (P>0.05), while only body condition and herd size were shown statistically significant difference in prevalence of mange mites (P<0.05). This study indicates that camel populations in Kebribeyah district had large amount of mange mites which could hamper health and production status of the camels. Therefore, more emphasis should be given to improve the management system, further studies and control measures should be conducted to shrink the effect of mange mite infestation on camel husbandry.

“…The main cause of camel milk contamination by different hazardous pesticides is the presence of their residues in animal feedstuffs because of the use of banned substances to control plant pests, pesticide application to farm animals, environmental contamination, and accidental spills (15,(24)(25)(26). Al Ali et al (27) reported cases of previously healthy farmers who presented with symptoms of cholinergic crisis accompanied by slurred speech, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, frequent micturition, muscle fasciculation, chest discomfort, atrial fibrillation, and bradycardia that developed several hours after milk ingestion from the mammary glands of camels treated with organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) against the mite Sarcoptes scabiei cameli, agent of mange, one of the most common diseases in camel farms (28).…”

Increasing demand for camel’s milk worldwide occurred in the context of the development of the organic sector in agriculture. The implementation of an organic label for camel milk has never been established. However, the creation of such a label faces to important challenges that are investigated in the present paper. Indeed, although camel milk conveys the image of a “natural product” issued from remote places, the risk of being produced in contaminated areas (mining activities, oil extraction) cannot be neglected for grazing animals. Moreover, the management of veterinary drugs for prevention or curative treatment can lead to the presence of residues in milk, especially in camel species with different pharmacokinetics, although similar instructions than for cow milk are used. Moreover, the lack of international standards regarding both composition and hygienic rules, the risks of adulteration, and the necessity to use specific indicators or analytical procedures adapted to the behavior of camel milk, have to be taken in account in the establishment of the specifications for the camel milk producers through the world.
