Abstract

688 slaughtered camel of both sex were investigated for the presence of hepatic af­ fections. The results showed that about 15% of the livers were partially or totally con­ demned for various reasons including: echinococcosis, abscesses, multifocal necrosis, hepatic congestion and /or fibrosis. The latter constituted 70% of the affections and some of these cases were associated with ascitis and subcutaneous edema with no de­ tectable gross abnormalities in other visceral organs. Microscopical examination showed three types of lesions, a) congestion and early degeneration (70%), b) ad­ vanced vacuolar degeneration, early necrosis and sinusoidal congestion (20%), c) necro­ sis and advanced fibrosis accompanied by biliary epithelium hyperplasia (10%). No specific pathogen, parasite or heavy metals have been yet identifred. However, the role of environmental toxins could not be rule out
