Abstract:
This work was conducted at Wady Al-Alazeeb Research Station which relates to Hama steppe aiming to compare the effect of Ivermectin and Albendazole on the stomach and intestines Nematodes in Camel.
Both compounds were implemented on a group of (10) animals for each, and (10) animals left untreated as a control. Dung samples were examined after 4, 10, 20 and 30 days. In addition, count of eggs in one gram of dung (EPG) was done. The results showed significant differences after (P < 0.05) 10 days treatment and highly significant (P < 0.01) after 20 and 30 days treatments for the first group of animals treated with Ivermectin injected under the skin. Whereas, for the second group that was treated with Albendazole, dif - ferences were highly significant for 4 or 10 or 20 days between pre and post dosage. As for the spread of infestation with worm was high in all stages of the study.The Results showed that the most eggs helminthes observed were Trichuris spp, Nematodirus spp, and Strongylus spp. By infection percentages of (94.73%), (21.05%) and (7.89%) respectively. In addition, three species of Eimeria-oocysts were diagnosed in more than (44.73%) of tested Camels, of which, Ei-meria cameli,E.bacterianii and E.dromedarii with infection percentages of (36.84%), (7.89%) and (5.26%) respectinely. Lungworms-Larvae, eggs of Trematoda and Cestoda have not been detected in the tested samples.
