    Abstract:
    A survey was conducted to study camel ringworm in Eastern Sudan. Ringworm was diagnosed in 217 out of 498 young camel calves under two years old examined during a whole year (43.5%). The peak incidence of the disease was found to be in Autumn and Winter. The disease was observed more frequently among young growing calves (1-2 years) than older animals but the prevalence among male and female animals was found to be similar. Lesions were observed mainly on the head, neck and shoulder with frequent extension to the flanks and limbs. Trichophyton verrucosum was isolated in pure culture for the first time from camel ringworm in the Sudan. Histopathological findings of the natural disease are described. Epidemiology in Eastern Sudan is discussed.
