Abstract
The gross and histopathologic lesions caused by E. cameli in the intestinal tract of a camel (C. dromedarius) are described. Postmortem examination showed lesions in the small intestine which had swollen mucosa on which were numerous whitish-grey foci. Histologically, giant schizonts in various developmental stages were seen in the lamina propria of the jejunum. The associated inflammatory cell response in these areas was predominantly mononuclear and eosinophilic in character.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
