A dromedary camel with pulmonary tuberculosis (Tb) showed severe emaciation and died. The causative agent was identified as a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex antelope clade.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Microbiology
  • Zoonotic Diseases

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (Tb) is a significant infectious disease affecting various animal species.
  • Dromedary camels are important livestock in arid regions, and understanding their diseases is crucial.

Observation:

  • A dromedary bull presented with severe emaciation and clinical signs consistent with pulmonary disease.
  • Post-mortem examination revealed typical tuberculosis lesions in the lungs and associated lymph nodes.

Findings:

  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, specifically from the antelope clade, was isolated from the affected dromedary.
  • Experimental inoculation of a guinea pig with lung tissue confirmed the pathogenicity of the isolate, leading to disseminated tuberculosis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the susceptibility of dromedary camels to tuberculosis caused by M. tuberculosis complex.
  • The identification of the antelope clade suggests potential transmission dynamics and the need for surveillance in camel populations.
