Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
A 3-year old male Arabian camel was presented for anorexia, fever, watery mucoid diarrhea. In order to find the cause of disease, blood and fecal samples were examined. The present organism was diagnosed as Balantidium coli trophozoites.
