“…Camel blood plays a central role in these unique adaptations [ 3 , 4 ]. Camel blood is similar to that of other mammals, having similar blood cell types, biochemical composition, and general function [ 5 , 6 ]. Nonetheless, camels’ blood cells, particularly red blood cells (RBCs), differ from most mammals in its shape, size, and ability to swell extensively in hypotonic environments [ 4 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…The erythrocytes of most mammals are round, thick, and biconcave, while those of camelids (e.g., dromedary, llama) are elliptical in shape, thin, and flat [ 5 , 9 ]. Camel WBCs have not received as much attention as their RBCs, likely due to their similarity in shape/size to that of other mammals, thus apparently lacking adaptive value [ 6 ]. The previously reported dimensions and area of camel RBCs have been inconsistent (for summary see [ 8 ]), likely due to the camels’ individual variation and their hydration status, along with differences in measuring methods.…”

“…Veterinary hematological parameters are frequently reported for camels from different populations and locations [ 6 , 11 – 14 ]. Camel RBCs are frequently studied for their adaptive value, as they exhibit extended survival and flexible shape.…”

Single-humped camels are livestock of physical, physiological, and biochemical adaptations to hot desert environments and to water scarcity. The tolerance of camels to water deprivation and their exceptional capacity for rapid rehydration requires blood cells with membranes of specialized organization and chemical composition. The objectives of this study are to examine the changes in the area (a proxy for volume) of camel blood cells in solutions with decreasing concentrations of NaCl and consequently identify the conditions under which blood cells can be phenotyped in a large population. Whole-blood samples from three healthy adult female camels were treated with four different concentrations of NaCl and examined at six incubation-periods. Observationally, red blood cells in all treatments remained intact and maintained their elliptical shape while white blood cells experienced some damage, lysing at concentrations below 0.90%. Average basal (in 0.90% NaCl) RBC area was ~15 μm² and swelled in the various treatments, in some cases reaching twice its original size. Excluding the damaged cells, the average area of combined WBCs, ~32.7 μm², expanded approximately three times its original size. We find that camel WBCs, like their RBCs, are adapted to hypotonic environments, and are capable of expanding while maintaining their structural integrity.

Kazakh Bactrian (Camelus bactrianus) camels have biological and productive features. So far, there are no scientifically based data on modern breeding practices. The analysis of some peculiarities of Kazakh Bactrian female camels of various pedigrees and determination of their production features are of great importance to develop a productive camel breeding. In this paper some biological peculiarities of Kazakh Bactrian females and their production qualities are determined. It was found that with the decrease of pedigree fraction of Kazakh Bactrian camels the respiration rate increases up to the limit of the physiological standard, body temperature and pulse rate did not change with changing the pedigree of Kazakh Bactrian camels. The recorded data confirm that female camels are clinically healthy in all the physiological parameters. The data show the high level of changes in blood corpuscle concentration, which is 11% higher in red blood cells and 19% higher in white blood cells.
