Atrial Fibrillation in a Racing Camel: Welfare Significance and Prospects for Genetic Selection

Medhat El Shemy, Carlos Iglesias Pastrana

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a clinically relevant arrhythmia reported in several athletic mammals but rarely documented in racing camels. Here, we describe a 4-year-old male dromedary presenting with reduced performance and transient collapse during galloping. Resting heart rate ranged from 22 …

Cognitive performance and variability in dromedary camels: insights from a comparative psychometric approach

Carlos Iglesias Pastrana, Francisco Javier Navas González, Elena Ciani, Amy McLean et autres

Contemporary research in animal cognition has expanded our understanding of non-human intelligence, yet behavioural and cognitive traits in dromedary camels remain largely unexplored. This study pioneers the empirical assessment of cognitive performance and variability in dromedaries (Camelus dromedarius) using a comparative psychometric …

Breeding of Camels in Europe: Between Continuity and Innovation

Ahana Maitra, Carlos Iglesias Pastrana, Bernard Faye, Pamela Anna Burger et autres

Camel breeding in Europe has undergone significant changes, intertwining historical continuity with modern innovation. Historically, dromedaries (Camelus dromedarius) and Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus), played essential roles in Roman logistics, medieval rituals, and agriculture, leaving archeological and cultural footprints across Europe. Following a …
