Title: Impact of age and gender of camels (Camelus dromedarius) and their breeders on the prevalence of Balantidium Coli
Abstract: The present work could represent the first report of parasitic infections with Balantidium Coli in camel and their breeders in Iraq. Results showed highestimations of prevalence in camels (50%) and their breeders (40%). The differencesbetween infection rates due to gender was not significant (P=0.055) in camels whereas, the differences in infection rateswas significant (P=0.04) due to gender . On the other hand, the differences in the infection rate of were significant due to age (P=0.04) and due to age (P=0.04) in camels breeders. The difference in the prevalence between camels and males breeders was not significant (P=0.61) and this could be considered as an evidence of the associated infection. Hence, it is very imperative to adopt a regular test for camels and their breeders and using deworming for camels to prevent the risk of its zoonotic potentials on public health particularly in Najaf province as it consistsof the largest population of camels in Iraq.
