Incidence of Nematodirus species and their differentiation through the infective third stage larvae among Egyptian camels.
Coprological examination on camels (Camelus dromedarius) from different localities in Egypt revealed the presence of Nematodirus eggs in 38 out of 312 (12.18%). The faecal samples positive to Nematodirus eggs were cultured for collection of infective third stage larvae (L3). Details of the general and differential categories of each sample were given. The recovered species were Nematodirus battus, Nematodirus filicollis and Nematodirus spathiger.
