Beschreibung
This open access contributed volume presents a unique interdisciplinary exploration of camels through the lens of the One Health framework, bridging human, animal, and environmental health. This book delves into camel genetics, zoonotic diseases like MERS, food production systems, genomics science, climate resilience, and conservation strategies. It presents cutting-edge research and innovations in camel health, productivity, and ecological impact, illustrating how camels are central to sustainable development and the health of pastoralist communities. Camels have been essential to the cultural identity and economic survival of communities in arid landscapes across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, and are now gaining renewed scientific and policy attention. As global concerns rise around zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, sustainable food systems, and climate change, camels emerge as both subjects of scientific interest and agents of adaptation. Their unique physiology, ecological role, and emerging biomedical applications, such as nanobodies and genetic innovations, make them increasingly relevant to One Health agendas. This book integrates perspectives from veterinary science, public health, genetics, food science, ecology, and conservation biology to offer an evidence-based roadmap for camel-inclusive development. This book is ideal for anyone interested in the latest developments in camel science and the evolving role of camels in a rapidly changing world. It is essential reading for researchers and practitioners in veterinary science, public health, ecology, One Health, food systems, and policy. Additionally, it serves as a valuable reference for postgraduate students and professionals engaged in dryland development, livestock innovation, zoonotic disease control, and climate adaptation strategies.
