Abstract

For studying the parasitic infestations of camel's liver, 5000 camels were examined during the period extending from March 1994 10 April 1995.Out of showed parasitic infestations in the 5000 cacamined camels, 65 cases (1.3% their livers. Fasciola spp, Cysticercus dromedarii, C. temuicollis and hydatid cysts were the recovered parasitic stages in incidences of 0.14%, 0.26%, 0.02% and 0.88%, respectively. Both F. gigantico and F. hepatica were recorded in all of the infested cases with Fasciola spp., which was considered as the first record of F. hepatica in camels in Egypt. C. tersicollis proved to be an accidental infestation for camels. It was concluded that camel, may act as a carrier for the parasitic liver infestations and indirectly transmitting them to other animals. The authors recommend the application of the hygienic culture, among camel breeders and leaders, for the proper disposal of dead carcasses, and the application of epizootological surveys, followed by medicinal treatment of the infested cases, as camel breeders usually neglect these measures.
