Abstract
- Out of ninety eight of camels (Camelus dormadarius) examined, only forty eight (48.9 %) were found to be infected with blood protozoan parasites (Trypanosoma evansi, Theileria sp. and Babesia sp.). The higher incidence of infection were found in males (36.7%) whereas, (12.24%) in females. Microscopical examination revealed that longitudinal binary fission, the stumpy, slender forms of Trypanosoma evansi, trophozoites of both Theileria sp. And Babesia sp. Experimental infection revealed that both of Babesia and Theileria have a zoonotic importance for their transmissible to the experimental animals.
