Abstract
Camels are used as carriers of loads and of passengers, as well as for wool, milk, skin and meat. The single-hump camel is originated in Africa, while the double-hump camel is originated in Central Asia. The two species of camels are found in southern and western Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia as well as North African countries such as Egypt. Despite the fact that there are many studies on the clinical, hematologic and blood biochemical characteristics of camels, these are usually regional studies; there is no study that presents camels as a whole globally. The clinical, hematological and blood biochemical values provided by this article can be used as reference values for veterinarians and academics who deal with camel diseases in different areas of the world.
Keywords: dehydrated camels, clinical, hematological, blood biochemical, parameters, other ruminants, artiodactyla, Bactrian, Tylopoda suborder, guanacos, ecological adaptations, alpacas, new world scenes, two-hump Bactrian, dromedary camel, ped-footed, concentrating urine
