Abstract
Background: Respiratory diseases represent one of the infectious diseases which caused serious effects in animals and important loss economic products as in case of camels. Methodology: The current study included twenty clinical respiratory disorders in one Hump Camel (Camelus dromedaries) from eastern-south area in Iraq were it's the living environment of these animals. Results: Respiratory symptoms varying from coughing, nasal discharge fatigue and raised their temperature, weakness, loss of appetite and lost weight. Post-mortem examination of camels carcasses in abattoir investigate stages of pneumonia and pleuropneumonia characterized as heavyweight of their lungs were edematous, congested with rounded and flabby edges, pale-pink color to gray consolidation with emphysematous areas and petechial hemorrhage sometimes. On microscope acute pulmonary edema and congestion were predominant, bronchitis and bronchiolitis, emphysema and collapse with pleurisy. Conclusion: predominant respiratory infection in camels may due to pathogenic agents from bacteria or viruses may even two agents in mixed infection together causes' serious respiratory distress.
