E. coli serogroups 02, 08, 083, 0103 and 0120 were isolated from seven camels with diarrhoea of which 02, 08, and 083 were found to be enterotoxigenic on rabbit ligated ileal loop test. Out of 125 apparently healthy camels, 75 strains of E. coli were isolated. The majority of isolates were susceptible to gentamycin, nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim plus sulphonamide, neomycin, kanamycin and chloramphenicol.

Experimental brucellosis with Brucella abortus has been studied in chickens, though antibody response and histopathological changes in the tissues of the birds were conspicuous and noticed consistently, it was not possible to isolate Brucella organisms from lung, liver, spleen and faecal samples of the infected chickens. These observations suggested that birds are resistant to Brucella infection and organisms succumb to death in vivo.
