Dromedary camels are outstanding livestock that developed efficient abilities to tolerate desert conditions. Many dromedary camel-types (i.e., named populations) exist but lack defined specific breed standards, registries, and breeders’ governing organizations. The breed status of dromedary camel-types can partly be assessed by exploring mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation. Accordingly, this study aimed to examine the breed status and the inter-population relationships of dromedary camel-types by analyzing sequence variation in the mtDNA control region and in three coding genes [cytochrome b, threonine, and proline tRNA, and part of the displacement loop (D-loop)] (867 bp region). Tail hair samples (n = 119) that represent six camel-types from Kuwait were collected, extracted, sequenced, and compared to other publicly available sequences (n = 853). Within the sequenced mitochondrial region, 48 polymorphic sites were identified that contributed to 82 unique haplotypes across 37 camel-types. Haplotype names and identities were updated to avoid previous discrepancies. When all sequences were combined (n = 972), a nucleotide diversity of 0.0026 and a haplotype diversity of 0.725 was observed across the dromedary-types. Two major haplogroups (A and B) were identified and the B1 haplotype was predominant and found in almost all dromedary-types whereas the A haplotypes were more abundant in African regions. Non-metric multidimensional scaling revealed an increased similarity among Arabian Peninsula “Mezayen” camel-types, despite their defining coat colors. The relationships among dromedary camel-types can partly be explained by mtDNA. Future work aimed at a deeper understanding of camel-type breed status should focus on a high number of nuclear markers.

Studies of population genetic diversity is important research field in conservation and restoration of animal breeds and genetic resources. The control region of mitochondrial DNA is widely used for population and evolutionary studies because of its‘ maternal inheritance and high level of sequence variation as well as its‘ much less recombination rate. To determine genetic diversity and maternal inheritance, we collected 10 blood samples of Tes horses from Zavkhan, Mongolia. In this study, 8 haplotypes and 44 polymorphic sites were detected. Haplotype diversity was 0.9333 and nucleotide diversity was 0.0224. 4 haplogroups (A, C, F, I) were identified among 8 haplotypes.
