Coccidiosis in Sudanese camels (Camelus dromedarius): 1--First record and description of Eimeria spp. harboured by camels in the eastern region of Sudan.
Coccidial oocysts were detected in 40 (17.4%) out of 230 faecal samples obtained from camels in the Eastern Region of Sudan during June 1985-June 1986. These oocysts were identified as Eimeria rajasthani, Eimeria dromedarii and Eimeria cameli. A detailed description of sporulated oocysts is given in this study and variations from previous authors' findings are discussed.
