In this study. One hundred and twenty camels (60 Libyan carmels and 60 Sudanes camels), were post-mortem examined for the occurrence of M, expansa and F. hepatica. During the period from jan to Dec 2019. The results showed that the incidence rate of infection amang Libyan camels was (39) 65% and in Sudanes camels was (37) 61.6%.

According to the age, the incidence rate among age group <3 years old was 25 (41.6%); 22 (36.6%) in L. and S. camels respectively. and age group > 3 years old was 14 (23.3%); and 15 (35.0%) in L. and S. camels respectively.

According to seasons, the highest incidence rate was in summer and spring 12

(80.0%) in Libyan camels, as for the Sudanese it was 15 (100%) in summer and 8

(53%) in spring and the infection with monezia expansa in the two breeds, while the infection with Fasciola hepatica was only with s camels

according to sex (males and females) 23 (38.3%), 16 (26.6%) and 17 (28.3%); 20

(33.3%) in L. and S. camels respectively.

The overall rate of M. expansa in L. and S. camels was (65.0%) and (53.3%)

respectively, and 5cases (8.33%) of F. hepatica in S. camels.
