Abstract
This study was carried out on enteric parasites infesting 121 imported camels slaughtered at Cairo abattoir and 23 native camels from El-Mansorya region in Giza. The results of examination of faecal samples revealed the presence of Eimeria dromedarii oocysts (31.4%), Paragonimus sp. eggs (0.8%), Trichuris sp. eggs (6.6%) and 7 species of Strongyle eggs which were: Bunostomum sp. (5.0%), Chabertia sp. (3.3%). Ostertagia sp. (4.1%), Cooperia sp. (9.1%), Trichostrongylus sp. (15.7%), Strongyloides sp. (6.6%) and Nematodirus sp. (3.3%), as well as, Protostrongylus sp. (5.0%) in imported camels. In native camels, the examination revealed Trichostrongylus sp. (17.4%) and Strongyloides sp. (8.7%). Mixed infections were encountered. The detected eggs, oocysts, 1" stage larva of lung worm, and 3`d stage larva of Strongyles were measured, illustrated and identified.
