TISSUE CYST FORMING- COCCIDIA FROM CAMELS (Camelus dromedarius) IN SUDAN: A REVIEW

Abstract

Camels ( Camelus dromedarius ) in the Sudan act as intermediate host
for many species of cyst forming coccidian parasites . Oocysts of
Toxoplasma gondii , Cystoisospora felis and Cystoisospora rivolta were
isolated from cats experimentally fed infected camel meat while sporocysts
of Sarcocystis cameli , Sarcocystis spp. and oocysts of Hammondia hedorni ,
Cystoisospora ohieonsis and Cystoisospora burrowsi were isolated from dogs
. Studies on Toxoplasma and Sarcocystis that were carried on camels in
Sudan were discussed .
