Skin nodules of  Onchocerca fasciata  Railliet and Henry, 1910 (Spirurida, Onchocercidae) are a common finding in dromedary camels, though with a minimal clinical impact. There is little information about the morphology, molecular make-up and pathological impact of this parasite.  Onchocerca fasciata  nodules (1.3–2.1 cm in diameter and 509–841 mg in weight) were detected on the neck region in 31.5% of dromedary camels examined in Kerman province, southeastern Iran. Of 38 isolated nodules, only 23 (60.5%) contained viable worms. Measurement and morphological analyses were performed on isolated female worms by light microscopy. The identification of  O. fasciata  specimens was confirmed by sequence analysis of two mitochondrial genes (12S rDNA and  cox 1), which showed 0.4% divergence from available  O. fasciata  sequences. In addition, a phylogeny of filarial nematodes was constructed, based on these two mitochondrial genes and five nuclear genes (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA,  MyoHC ,  rbp1 ,  hsp70 ); this indicated that  O. fasciata  belongs to clade ONC3 of Onchocercidae, with representatives of the genera  Onchocerca  and  Dirofilaria . Within the genus  Onchocerca ,  O .  fasciata  is grouped with bovine parasitic species and the human parasitic  Onchocerca volvulus , which suggests an impact of domestication on the radiation of the genus. Data provided here on the distribution and morphology of  O. fasciata  contribute to the molecular identification and phylogenetic position of the species.
