dc.description.abstractThe present investigation carried out for various pathological conditions of cardiovascular system in camel, North West Rajasthan. A total of 620 specimens of cardiovascular system were collected and examined. Out of these, 201 specimens showing pathological lesions were further processed for histopathological examination in Department of Veterinary Pathology, CVAS Bikaner. The blood samples were collected from apparently healthy camels (n=10) from NRCC, Bikaner and clinical cases (n=15) reported in VCC, CVAS Bikaner. These camels suffer from mild anorexia, chronic muscular weakness, poor body condition, poor working efficiency and weight loss. The blood samples were further processed for haemato-biochemical profile in Veterinary Clinical Complex, CVAS Bikaner. The postmortem examination carried out of 6 clinical cases that were died during treatment. For bacteriological studies, the tissue swabs were collected from different lesions (abnormal lymph nodes, vegetative growth and hemorrhagic heart lesions) in field condition. The isolation and identification of bacteria’s were carried out by MALDI-TOP MS, machine in Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Biotechnology, CVAS, Bikaner. The overall occurrence of various pathological conditions associated with cardiovascular system is 32.41 per cent (201/620) reported in present investigation. No congenital cardiac defects are reported. The pathological conditions of pericardium comprised hemorrhagic pericarditis (2.48%) suppurative pericarditis (1.59%), traumatic pericarditis (0.59%), hydropericardium (2.98%), serous atrophy of fat (2.98%), hemopericardium (0.49%) and epicardial hemorrhages (7.96%). The pathological conditions of myocardium included parasitic myocarditis (7.01%) and myocardits (1.01%), dilated cardiomyopathy (1.59%), left ventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (1.0%), myocardial degeneration (4.06%) and fatty infiltration (2.48%). The endocardium pathology comprised of vegetative endocarditis (1.59%) and endocardial hemorrhages (4.47%). The pathological conditions of blood vessels were comprised Arteritis (0.49%), Phlebitis (1.59%) and parasitic aortitis (3.48%). Arterial hypertrophy (1.01%), atherosclerosis (1.59%), calcified aorta (4.01%), pm 180 clot (9.95%), congestion (6.45%) and hemorrhages (3.01%) reported in present study. The pathology of lymph nodes were included caseous lymphadenitis (2.00%), hemorrhagic lymphadenitis (6.46%), chronic lymphadenitis (1.59%) and congestion (8.46%) reported in present study. A total 18 isolates were reported from abnormal lymph nodes. The prevalence rate of gram negative 13 (72.22 per cent) followed by gram- positive 5 (27.77 per cent) reported. These isolates were included Klebsiella pneumoniae Enterobacter cloacae, E. coli, Enterococcus spp, Bacillus spp, S. aureus and Stenotroph maltophillia. E. coli and Enterobacter cloacae predominantly isolated followed by K. pneumoniae from vegetative growth in camel heart. The total 33 isolates, belong to 7 genera were reported from hemorrhagic lesion in heart. E. coli is predominantly reported from lesions. The mean values of Hb, RBCs and PCV were significantly decreased in diseases camels. The mean value of TLC in disease group increases that attributed to lymphocytosis and eosinophilia. Increase eosinophils and lymphocytes associated with parasitic and chronic infection, respectively. Mean value of total protein decrease might be due to kidney dysfunction. Decrease serum albumin level might be associated with anorexia, kidney damage, hemorrhages or myocarditis. Elevation of immunoglobulin level resulted due to antigenic stimulation of infectious agents. The mean value of AST, LDH and GGT increased in diseases animals as compare to control group. Elevated level of AST and LDH might be attributed to extensive cardiac muscles damage and merozoites penetration into the cardiac muscle during chronic sarcocystosis stages. The elevated serum GGT level might be due to degenerative changes in hepatocytes caused by sarcotoxin.en_US
