“…Higher infection rates were recorded by Naife et al (1992) in North Sinai (81.3%) and Partani et al (1996) in India (85.39%). High infection rate with nematode worms could be attributed to their adaptation and the high resistance of their larvae to the hot dry condition (Abdel Salam and Farah, 1988).…”

PARASITOLOGICAL survey of 98 slaughtered camels for ……gastrointestinal helminthes aged 1-5 and 6-10 years was carried out from the beginning of March 2011 to the end of February 2012 at Toukh abattoir. The result showed that50 camels (51.02%) were infected with different helminth parasites. The only recorded trematode worm was Schistosomabovis (2.04%). Small intestine of camels harboured three types of cestodes which were Moniezia spp. (8.16%), Stieleziaglobipunctata (17.36%) and Avitellinacentripunctata (1.02%).The collected nematodes were Trichostrongylus spp. (11.22%), Haemonchuslongistipes and Impalaia tuberculata were (2.04%) for each. The prevalence of Camelostrongylus mentulatus and Cooperia spp. was(1.02%) for each and Trichuris spp. (17.36%). Post mortumexamination of heart, liver and lung of the 98 slaughtered camels revealed presence of cysticercousdromedarii and hydatid cyst with percentage of 1.02 and 13.26, respectively. The single infection was observed in 40.81%, while mixed infection with two parasites recorded in 8.16% and triple infection was recorded in 2.04%.The prevalence of infection was higher in ages of 1-5 years than ages 6-10 years with percentage 65.96and 37.25, respectively. The helminthic infection rate was higher in spring followed by summer and winter season (73.9%, 72.2% and 40%, respectively), the lowest infection rate was in autumn (29.62%).

“…In studies on camel diseases, it has been observed that parasitic infections are the major cause of reduced nutrient utilization, as well as decreased meat and milk yield, reduced growth rate in youngsters, and reproductive deficiency 7,8 . In Sudan, which has the second largest camel population in the world, the most common diseases in camels are associated with parasitism 9 .…”

“…These studies have reported that camels AYPAK, EREN, BAKIRCI, UNER SIMSEK, BOGA, GULER, UNLU are susceptible to more than 60 types of helminthes. It should be surprising that little is known about the endoparasites in camels that in the Arabian Peninsula, are the most important source of meat and milk for the nomads, as well as used as means of transportation 7 .…”

SummaryFirst historical findings on camel wrestling, which is now practiced as a festival in Turkey, particularly in certain regions (Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean) date back to the 15 th century. In terms of animal husbandry, parasitic diseases may result in negative outcomes ranging from loss of performance to death for camels. In the present study, annual camel wrestling arenas were visited between December and March (2010-2011), and stool samples were collected from camels from different cities for parasitological analysis. Stool samples of 109 camels from 7 different cities (Aydin, Izmir, Manisa, Denizli, Mugla, Balikesir, and Canakkale) were examined using Baermann-Wetzel stool culture, flotation, and sedimentation techniques for the parasites that live in gastrointestinal tract. The analyses revealed that 74% of the camels (81 of 109) were infected with one or more parasites: Trichostrongylus spp. (1.8%), and Paramphistomum spp. (0.9%). 16 different parasites, at the level of species and genus, were found, of which 14 were helminth (11 nematodes, 3 trematodes), and 2 were protozoans. The present study was the first to report Ostertagia spp., Fasciola spp. Dictyocaulus viviparus, Haemonchus spp., Oesophagostomum spp., Cooperia spp., Cooperia oncophora, Chabertia ovina and Paramphistomum spp. in camels in Turkey. As high as 74 percent of the incidence of parasitic diseases and the wide variety of parasites found in the present study suggest that parasitic infections may be overlooked entity in wrestling camels that are meticulously brought up.

Yetiştirilme hedefleri doğrultusunda paraziter hastalıklar, bu hayvanlarda performans kayıplarından başlayıp ölüme kadar gidebilen değişik derecelerde olumsuzluklara neden olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Aralık-Mart ayları arasındaki dönemlerde her yıl düzenlenen deve güreşi alanlarına gidilmiş (2010)(2011), değişik illerden gelen develerden dışkı örnekleri alınmış ve parazitolojik açıdan incelenmiştir. 7 ayrı ilden (Aydın, İzmir, Manisa, Denizli, Muğla, Balıkesir, Çanakkale) gelen toplam 109 hayvandan alınan dışkı örnekleri Baerman Wetzel, dışkı kültürü, fl otasyon ve sedimentasyon metotları uygulanarak sindirim sistemi ve ilişkili organlarda bulunan parazitler açısından muayeneleri yapılmıştır. Yapılan incelemelerde develerin %74'ü (81/109) bir ya da daha fazla parazitle enfekte bulunmuş olup; Trichostrongylus spp. %47.7, Ostertagia spp. %27.5, Dicrocoelium spp. %24.7, Trichuris spp. %11.9, Eimeria cameli %11.9, Capillaria spp. %6.4, Fasciola spp. %6.4, Dictyocaulus viviparus %5.5, Haemonchus spp. %4.5, Oesophagostomum spp. %4.5, Cooperia spp. %4.5, Cooperia oncophora %3.6, Nematodirus spp. %3.6, Chabertia ovina %2.7, Eimeria spp. %1.8, Paramphistomum spp....

The life cycle of Physocephalus dromedarii was studied under experimental conditions. Larvae obtained from naturally infected Scarabaeus cristatus and Aphodius sp. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) were measured and examined in light and scanning electron microscopy and used to infect a dromedary as final host as well as chicken, mice and a toad as possible paratenic hosts. Larvae with the same morphology and similar measurements were found in naturally infected reptiles (Trapelus flavimaculatus, Eryx jayakari, Cerastes gasperettii). Body length of examined larvae varied between 1450 and 1700 μm. Dorsal, ventral and lateral lips, peg-like papillae and amphideal pits are located on the cephalic cone. There are two asymmetrical cervical deirids, long simple lateral wings and a knob-like posterior end covered with minute spines. In the camel, patency is reached within 12 weeks after infection while larvae in paratenic hosts migrate into the wall of the alimentary tract and become dormant.
