BACKGROUND
The one-humped camels are economically important for several countries in Africa, Asia, and the Arabian Peninsula. Coccidiosis causes significant economic impact. Studies on coccidian parasite species causing such infections are limited. The present study aimed to carry out a survey of spp. in camels from Riyadh and Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia
METHODS
A total of 209 fecal samples from () slaughtered in West Abattoir in Riyadh and Onaizah Modern abattoir in Al-Qassim were collected. Samples were examined by flotation methods and oocyst sporulation.
RESULTS
Of the 209 examined fecal samples, 75 were positive for spp..The prevalence of oocysts in Riyadh and Al-Qassim were 33.89% (40/118) and 38.46% (35/92), respectively. The prevalence in young male camels was 41.02% (32/78) and 39.62% (21/53), respectively and in adult males was 19.35% (6/31) and 36% (9/25), respectively. Adult females displayed a prevalence of 22.22% (2/9) and 38.46% (5/13) in Riyadh and Al-Qassim, respectively. Three spp. were identified; , , and . The presence of is considered the first record in Saudi Arabia.
背景
单峰骆驼对非洲、亚洲和阿拉伯半岛的几个国家具有重要的经济意义。球虫病会造成重大经济影响。关于引起此类感染的球虫寄生虫种类的研究有限。本研究旨在对沙特阿拉伯利雅得和卡西姆的骆驼体内的 属物种进行调查。
方法
从利雅得的西屠宰场和卡西姆的奥奈宰现代屠宰场宰杀的（）中总共采集了209份粪便样本。通过浮选法和卵囊孢子化对样本进行检查。
结果
在209份检查的粪便样本中，75份 属物种呈阳性。利雅得和卡西姆的卵囊患病率分别为33.89%（40/118）和38.46%（35/92）。年轻雄性骆驼的患病率分别为41.02%（32/78）和39.62%（21/53），成年雄性骆驼的患病率分别为19.35%（6/31）和36%（9/25）。成年雌性骆驼在利雅得和卡西姆的患病率分别为22.22%（2/9）和38.46%（5/13）。鉴定出三种 属物种； 、 和 。 的存在被认为是沙特阿拉伯的首次记录。
