My Journey to Camel Science as a Parasitologist in CVRL, Dubai

This paper reports findings of camel parasites in the United Arab Emirates during a 22-year period between 2002 and 2024. Most of the samples in the first four years were from racing camels in an age group of two to six years while starting from 2006 onwards with the start of operation of a large camel dairy farm, a growing number of samples were from older females and their offsprings. A total of 38 parasite species are mentioned. Some of these parasites were imported with camels from other countries and are exotic for the United Arab Emirates.
