Onchocerca jasciata Railliet & Henry, 1910, which occurs in subcutaneous nodules, shows a site preference to the anterior parts of its host, Camelus dromedarius L., i.e. the nuchal ligaments, neck, and shoulders. Although the incidence of infection was generally high (59 %), the infected camels did not exhibit any apparent disease. The intensity of infection ranged between 2 and 29, with a mean of 10.8 nodules per infected host.
Résumé
L’Onchocerca fasciata Railliet et Henry, 1910 qui se trouve à l’intérieur des nodules sous-cutanés, préfère les parties antérieures du Camelus dromedarius L. Ce sont les ligaments de la nuque et les épaules qui constituent les principaux foyers de localisation. Les dromadaires atteints ne présentent pas de symptômes. Le nombre de nodules varie entre 2-29, soit 10,8 nodules en moyenne par dromadaire.
