| Abstract | ||||
| Clinical and laboratory investigations were carried out on grazing camels (C.dromedari) in 5 areas situated at the North of Sinai gover norate. These investigations revealed that, 82.7% of the investigated camels were infested by gastro-intestinal p < strong>arasites. The percentages of infestation at different areas ranged from 80.0-86.4%. The degree of infestation among positive one was recorded. Emaciation, anaemia, diarrhoea and decreased performance were predominant among camels infested by different species of gastro-intestinal parasites. Fasciola eggs were also detected (1.3%). Decreased erythrocytic counts, haemo globin and haematocrit were the most prominant haematological findings. Hypoproteinaemia, hypoalbuminaemia and hypoglycaemia were also the prominant biochemical variations in infested camels in comparison to the non-infested ones reared under the same ecosystem. | ||||
