Suspected cutaneous actinobacillosis in camels

Omasal and abomasal impaction in beef suckler cows

“…Water should be constantly available. Sand has been implicated in some cases (Purohit and others 1987, Blood and Radostits 1989), and dirty root crops should therefore be avoided, and forage should be fed from racks rather than off the floor. The condition can have a significant economic impact.…”

Actinomycosis in a One‐humped Camel (Camelus dromedarius)

“…However, the diagnostic of the disease could not be supplemented with the isolation of causal agent on culture media. One other report described suspected actinobacillosis in three cases (Purohit et al., 1987). The lesions, which developed in those camels, were limited to the mouth, face and neck region.…”

“…The prognosis for recovery from an actinomycosis infection is guarded, and a long course of vigorous treatment for at least 1 month after remission is recommended. In the treatment of the camel with suspected actinobacillosis, lugol's iodine solution was used for the extended chemotherapeutic treatment (Purohit et al., 1987). In horses, sodium iodide was used for the treatment of actinomycosis (Specht et al., 1991).…”
