| Summary: | Using a PCR technique, the detection of Entamoeba histolytica in camels was the main reason for performing of this study. Two hundred faecal samples of the camels from the slaughterhouses & nomadic areas of Al-Qadisiyah and Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf provinces. Some of the camels suffered from diarrhoea & other asymptomatic animals, their ages range from less than 1 year to more than 1 year. Whereby showed the prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica infection was (30.5%) by Lougal iodine stain method according to using microscopic examination for a description of E. histolytica cysts. While the prevalence rate depending on the PCR technique there was (61%). |
