“…When compared with the results of the present study with Isospora canis (Hilali et al, 1995) it was found that the two species of oocysts in the present study are smaller than in Isospora canis, in addition to the prepatent period and the patent period which in the present study longer than in case of Isospora canis.…”

“…When compare the results of the present study with Hammondia heydorni, Hilali et al, (1995) there are a difference in a prepatent period, patent period and in dimensions of oocysts, where the oocysts in the present study is longer than that in Hammondia heydorni. By comparison the present study with Sarcocystis cameli by Hilali et al, (1995), it was found that the patent period may be similar and the measurements of the first type of oocysts in our study is similar with oocysts in case of (Hilali et al, 1995, Mason., 1910and Fatani et al, 1996. It is worthwhile mentioning that Hilali et al, (1995) study did not refer to any description of the cyst wall that was a very important factor in the identification of Sarcocystis species.…”

It is the 1 st time to study sarcocysts of camels in Qena Governorate, 156 specimens of camels (Camelus dromedarius) were collected from different slaughtered-houses in Qena Governorate, the rate of infection with Sarcocystis was (42.3 %). Out of 126 males, 54 (42.85 %) were infected while the infected number of females were 12 (40 %) from 30 specimens. Morphological and ultrastructures of muscle stage (sarcocyst) have been reported and illustrated in this study by both light and electron microscope, TEM showed that there are two types of Sarcocystis in camels in Qena Governorate. Dogs that infected with camel's oesophagus muscles contain mature Sarcocystis excreated two different types of oocysts in their feaces after 13-15 days of infection. Detailed description of oocysts has been reported.

“…Camels acquire the infection by ingesting food contaminated with oocysts. Cats given camel meat excreted oocysts of Cystoisospora felis, C. rivoltu and T. gondii (Hilali, Fatani, & Al-Atiya, 1995). Humans acquire the infection from camels by eating raw or undercooked camel meat contaminated with tissue cysts (Hilali & Fahmy, 1993;Wernery & Kaaden, 2002).…”

Approximately 60% of all human pathogens and 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic (of animal origin). Camel zoonotic diseases can be encountered in all camel‐rearing countries. In this article, all studies carried out on camel zoonotic diseases in Iran are reviewed to show the importance of camels for public health in this country. More than 900 published documents were systematically searched to find relevant studies from 1,890 until late 2018. The collected articles were classified according to the aetiological agents. In this study, 19 important zoonotic diseases were reported among Iranian camels including listeriosis, leptospirosis, plague, Q fever, brucellosis, campylobacteriosis, tuberculosis, pasteurellosis, clostridiosis, salmonellosis, Escherichia coli infections, rabies, camelpox, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever, echinococcosis, cryptosporidiosis, toxoplasmosis and dermatophytosis, most of which belong to bacterial, viral, parasitic and fungal pathogens, respectively. Results show that camels are one of the most important sources of infections and diseases in human; therefore, continuous monitoring and inspection programs are necessary to prevent the outbreak of zoonotic diseases caused by this animal in humans.

“…Paratenic hosts: Mice, cats, dogs, swine, sheep, water buffalos, and camels (Dubey, 1975b, Hilali et al, 1992, 1995Zayed and El-Ghaysh, 1998). These studies are based on feeding tissues of naturally or experimentally infected animals and finding oocysts of C. canis in canine feces after feeding of host tissues.…”
