title: Sarcocystis in Somali camel.
abstract: Samples of heart, esophagus and diaphragm of 200 camels (Camelus dromedarius) from Southern Somalia were examined for Sarcocystis by trypsin digestion and histological examination. The results showed a very high prevalence rate (82.5%). Histological findings suggested the presence of two different species in the camel.
