    abstract = {Six weaned puppies 4-weeks-old were fed once a composite of raw cameline meat (oesophagus,  diaphragm,   heart and skeletal muscles ) collected from camels slaughtered at El Gedarif city-Eastern Sudan. The  puppies  started  to  shed  two  types  of <I>Sarcocystis </I>sporocysts 9-13 days after feeding raw meat. One type identified morphologically as <I>Sarcocystis  cameli</I>,  measured 13.2-13.6x6.5-9.5 µm  with a patent period of 55-57 days. The second type had a larger size than the first one (vis <I>Sarcocystis camelocanis</I>),  measured 16.0x9.9-11.5 µm and a shorter patent period (37-45 days). The two species which harvested from intestinal mucosae of the infected puppies were orally given to three na&iuml;ve weand calf-camels (1x10<SUP>4 </SUP><I>Sarcocystis</I> sporocysts for each calf). The calves were medicated with amprolium at 100 gm kg<SUP>-1</SUP> body weight to reduce the acute effects of <I>Sarcocystis.</I> Histological findings revealed the presence of two types of <I>Sarcocystis</I> tissue cysts ; one form had a thin cyst wall (0.5-1 µm in width),  measured 72.5-264x9.9-29.5 µm, the ground substance extended inwards into the cyst in the form of narrow septae which divided the whole cyst into copartments. The other cyst measured 73-155x23-29.5 µm,   had a thick cyst wall ( 2-3 µm in width ) which divided the cyst into compartments.}
