Abstract

ABSTRACT: Helicobacter spp. infections are of epidemiological and zoonotic impacts. Different species of Helicobacter spp have been reported among humans and animals. The aim of this study was to detect Helicobacter spp. in fecal samples collected from camels using conventional PCR assays targeting 16S rRNA gene. A total of 32 camels were collected from nine of the small camel farms distributed in different localities in Ismailia governorate, Egypt. Results revealed that camel samples from 2 (22.22%) out of nine of camel farms was positive for Helicobacter species. A total of 4 (12.5%) out of 32 camels were positive for Helicobacter spp. In conclusion, this study showed the first report of detection of Helicobacter species infections of Camelus dromedaries. Further studies are need for Helicobacter species infections in camels to clarify the epidemiological aspects and species identification, genome characterization of Helicobacter spp infecting camels.
