Abstract
It is the 1st 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.
