It is the 1 st time to study sarcocysts of camels in Qena Governorate, 156 specimens of camels (Camelus dromedarius) were collected from different slaughtered-houses in Qena Governorate, the rate of infection with Sarcocystis was (42.3 %). Out of 126 males, 54 (42.85 %) were infected while the infected number of females were 12 (40 %) from 30 specimens. Morphological and ultrastructures of muscle stage (sarcocyst) have been reported and illustrated in this study by both light and electron microscope, TEM showed that there are two types of Sarcocystis in camels in Qena Governorate. Dogs that infected with camel's oesophagus muscles contain mature Sarcocystis excreated two different types of oocysts in their feaces after 13-15 days of infection. Detailed description of oocysts has been reported.

Freshwater fishes were sampled from the River Nile at different localities in Qena Governorate (Qus, Qift, Dandara, El-Trammsa, El-Maana, Dishna and Nag-Hammady). The investigated fishes are Oreochromis niloticus (180) and Tilapia zilli (66). Out of 246 fishes examined, 61 (24.8%) were found to be infected with myxosporean parasites. The infection rate was 25% of O. niloticus and 24.2% of T. zilli. Eight species of Myxobolus spp. were described from gills and one species was found in blood. The collected parasites are M. agolus, M. heterosporus (type 2), M. clarri, M. heterosporus (type 3) and a myxosporean species had been found infecting gill filaments of O. niloticus. Meanwhile, blood of one O. niloticus fish was found harboring Myxobolus sp.I. M. tilapiae, M. niloticus, M. zilli and M. fahmii were found parasitizing gill filaments of T. zilli. M. heterosporus (type 2) had been studied using scanning electron microscope. Comparisons with closely related species are provided.

It is so for the first time to do general survey of protozoan parasites that infect freshwater fishes in Qena Province. The total number of fishes examined were 581 belonging to 10 families represented by 14 Species during the period from January 2006 to May 2008. Three species of Henneguya were recorded from two species of fishes. The first species is suggested to be a new one called Henneguya mandouri sp.nov. The second species is Henneguya assuiti,

During a helminthological examination of Tarentola annularis (Geoffroy, 1828) and Chalcides ocellatus (Forskal, 1775), 12 out of 60 Tarentola annularis were found to harbour a large number of Spauligodon aspiculus, 30 out of 106 Chalcides ocellatus were found to harbour Thelandros aegypti.
