No. KEMRI/ACUC/01.04.17. Consent of the study participants was sought according to the KEMRI-SERU guidelines, while all manipulations involving the selected camels were done according to the KEMRI-ACUC guidelines and the Three Rs principle: Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement. All animal manipulations were therefore performed in accordance with the ethical standards as laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments.
