    abstract = {Anti-<I>Toxoplasma gondii</I> antibodies were detected among diarrheic calf-camels -less than 12 months of age- from a three different locations in the Sudan; Butana (East), Kordofan (West) and River Nile (North). Out of 306 serum sample, 157 serum samples were seropositive by latex agglutination test (51.3%). ELISA test was applied on the sero-reacted sera, IgM and IgG were detected in sera of diarrheic calf camels and sera of recovered ones, respectively. Serum samples from 18 diarrheic calf-camels and their mothers revealed that,12 out of 18 diarrheic calves with their mothers were sero-reacted for <I>Toxoplasma</I> antibodies while the remainder 6 calves and their mothers were sero-negative. This study revealed a wide spread of toxoplasmosis among diarrheic calf-camels. The statistical analysis using software analysis programs showed no significant differences between the three surveyed locations p< 0.05. Statistically there was no significant difference between age groups (p< 0.05); this may reveal an occurrence of congenital infection. A relationship between congenital toxoplasmosis and diarrhea in calf camels was discussed.}
