Haggar describes this as having remissions or intermissions as in the
horse, the trypanosoma disappearing during the intervals to reappear
with the hyperthermia. The temperature may rise to 106° F. and the
animal wastes away to a veritable skeleton. A remarkable feature of the
disease is the formation of immense abscesses containing a thick,
cream-colored pus on the sides of the chest in the vicinity of the pad,
and in the sheath and scrotum or udder near to the stifle pad. The
mortality is nearly as great as in the horse or mule, yet the camel
drivers say that a small percentage recover.
