| description | <b>Aim:</b> This study was carried out to determine Eimeria infection
in slaughtered camel and describe the gross and histopathologic
lesions caused by Eimeria species in the intestinal
tract.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Slaughtered 100 camels (68
males, 32 females, 6 months to 8 years, Kerman) were investigated
for the presence of Eimeria parasites microscopically
in intestinal tracts. Camels were classified into 3
groups according to the age (<2 years, 2-4 years, >4 years)
and sex (male, female). The prevalence of Eimeria spp. infection
and the intensity of faecal oocysts were determined
using floatation and sporulation techniques. Tissue samples
were taken from the intestinal tracts and then fixed in 10%
buffered formalin. They were processed and embedded in
paraffin. Sections of 5 μm thickness were cut and stained
with Hematoxylin and Eosin.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Eimeria cameli were found in 29 (29%) of the
100 camels. Sex and age of camels did not have significant
(p>0.05) effect on prevalence. Microscopic examination
revealed eosinophilic enteritis and existence of developmental
stages of the parasite such as giant schizonts, microgamont,
macrogametocytes, and oocysts in the lacteals of
lamina propria and in the epithelium of Lieberkuhn glands.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Eimeria cameli infection is prevalent in camels
in the south-eastern part of Iran and the evaluation of
infection potential can be useful when considering control
programs. |
