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.

Dr. Samantha Alex Gordine, MRSB, AFHEA, is an ecologist by training, now working as a sustainability professional. She completed her PhD in Marine Biology at the University of St Andrews in 2017, using inter-disciplinary research to link the movement and behaviour of a large, migratory mammal with in-situ and remote sensing data from extreme environments. Shortlisted for a Fulbright scholarship in 2018, Samantha instead continued her career in the non-profit sector and the life science industry. Currently, Samantha works with healthcare-related organisations to develop sustainable solutions and enhance environmental practices to improve One health outcomes. She currently serves as the Programme Manager for a flagship One Health Programme focusing on camels in the Middle East and supports the organisation Legal Atlas to combat wildlife crime.
Dr. Bernard Faye is a veterinarian and renowned camel expert with a career spanning over four decades. He earned his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 1974, then a PhD in 1995, and later specialized in animal nutrition, epidemiology, and endocrinology. Dr. Faye has worked in more than 50 countries, focusing on camel research, development, and health. He was consultant for FAO in different camel countries (Saudi Arabiaé, Oman, Morocco, Mauritania, Chad) and emeritus expert at CIRAD (France). He is a founding member of ISOCARD (International Society of Camelid Research and Development) and has authored over 600 scientific papers, 56 books and chapters in book, and numerous technical reports. His expertise includes camel clinical biochemistry, mineral metabolism, and disease epidemiology, contributing significantly to the global understanding of camelid sciences.
Dr. Pamela Burger is a veterinarian and population geneticist and interested in the evolutionary history and immune genetic response of domestic animals and their wild relatives to their environments. With next generation sequencing becoming cheaper, Dr. Burger is moving towards a One Health genomic approach to understand species dispersal behaviour and associated zoonotic disease risk factors in relation to geographic and climatic variables, with effects on environmental, animal and human health.
