Abstract

Based on the published works of camels in Saudi Arabia, this study is the first checklist of parasites infecting the one-humped camel, Camelus dromedarius in Saudi Arabia between 1950-2021. The present checklist was organized taxonomically in which consist of 75 names representing 4 groups of parasites. The first group is Protozoa with 24 names. Secondly, 13 names of nematodes were reported while there were 12 names of Platyhelminthes. The last group belongs to the Arthropoda which consists of 26 reported species, most of which belong to Ixodida. Based on the resulting checklist, the geographical sampling of these records focuses mainly on the Central, Western, Eastern, and Southern regions, respectively. To date, a few studies have recorded parasites in the North region. The evidence reviewed in this list seems to suggest that further research should be undertaken to investigate the biodiversity of parasites infecting camels from the northern region of Saudi Arabia, which is connected to other continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Abstract

Flotation method and McMaster technique are widely used in the field of parasitology. They are used to examine the present and quantity of parasites eggs and oocysts in the fecal samples. They provide quick assessments to evaluate the condition of infection in the host. Nevertheless, there are few quantitative studies regarding testing different concentrations and gravities of the flotation method of Coccidia oocysts. The aim of this study is to evaluate different concentration of the saturated sodium chloride for the quantitating the oocysts of Coccidia via McMaster method. Twenty-seven positive samples were exposed into different concentrations of the saturated sodium chloride (per liter): 360 g, 300g, and 225g. The McMaster technique was used to count the coccidian oocysts in different chosen concentrations for each sample. The results of ANOVA reveal that there is no significant between the concentrations (P > 0.05). The overall finding of this study proposes that lower gravity of NaCl can be used to test the present of coccidian oocysts in the stool sample using the flotation and McMaster methods.
