Despite close association between camels and humans, molecular based studies on vector-
borne pathogens infecting camels are scarce compared to other animals in Iran. The current
study was carried out to investigate the occurrence of vector-borne bacteria in the blood of
dromedaries by molecular tools. A total of 200 peripheral blood samples were collected from
apparently healthy animals. Microscopic examination was performed on Giemsa-stained
blood smears, and drops of blood were spotted on Whatman FTA® cards for molecular …
