The prevalence of Eimeria spp. infection and the intensity of faecal oocysts were determined in 164 camels using floatation and sporulation techniques. Faeces of 34 camels (20.73%) were infected with four Eimeria species including E. bactriani (52.42%), E. cameli (19.31%), E. pellerdyi (15.68%) and E. dromedarii (12.59%). Of infected animals, mixed infection was at most with four Eimeria species in 10.54% of camels. There was a significant difference between the prevalence of Eimeria infection in camels among different age groups (P UR - https://archrazi.areeo.ac.ir/article_103858.html L1 - https://archrazi.areeo.ac.ir/article_103858_46c70ba0f64fd68b508cedc790233075.pdf ER -
