. Coccidial oocysts were detected in 40 (17.4%) out of 230 faecal samples obtained from camels in the Eastern Region of Sudan during June 1985‐June 1986. These oocysts were identified as Eimeria rajasthani, Eimeria dromedarii and Eimeria cameli . A detailed description of sporulated oocysts is given in this study and variations from previous authors’findings are discussed.
