Abstract :

Camels, large herbivorous mammals of the genus Camelus, are very adapted to survive in extreme environments, specially deserts. They have distinctive physical characteristics, such as humps that store fat, tolerating them to survive long periods without food or water. These animals play a important role in transport, trade and providing resources such as milk, meat and wool. Historically, camels simplified trade across the Silk Road, bridging cultures and economies. The geographic distribution of camels covers arid regions, with camels mostly in the Middle East and North Africa and humpback camels in Central Asia. The breeding season of camels is synchronized with the colder months, which confirms best conditions for the survival of the offspring. Camels' ability to succeed on occasional vegetation and their resistance to disease make them an essential part of human survival in severe climates. Vaccination and disease control actions are essential to maintain camel health and productivity in stimulating envir
