@article{Sazmand2017ParasiticDO, title={Parasitic diseases of camels in Iran (1931–2017) – a literature review}, author={Alireza Sazmand and Anja Joachim}, journal={Parasite}, year={2017}, volume={24} }
Parasitic diseases of camels are major causes of impaired milk and meat production, decreases in performance or even death. Some camel parasites also represent a threat to human health. About 171,500 one-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) and 100–300 two-humped camels (Camelus bactrianus) live in Iran. Knowledge of the biodiversity of their parasites is still limited. The present review covers all information about camel parasitic diseases in Iran published as dissertations and in both Iranian…
