The mesenteric lymph hode and small intestine of400 apparently healthy slaughtered camels were examinedfor Salmonella. 60 camels were found to be infected, i.e. the incidence of infection was 15%, A total of 64 Salmo-nella isolates were recovered which could be serologically typed as S. heidelberg (16) t §. newlands (15),· S. ch(;ster (13), §. eastbourne (6), S. goettingen, S. tyPhi-murium, and S. brazzavile, each (3) isolates, S. lokstedt(2) and .§. israel,§. newportBased on the available literature it seems that only.§. typhi-murium and.2. eastbourne have been r-ec or-dsdbefore in camels in Egypt. On the other hand, four oth9r serotypes, namely S. heidelberg, S. chester, S. y’!ewport and§. newlands were recorded to be isolated from birds and other animals in Egypt, while the rest Of serotypes, Sbrazzavile, S. goettingen,.§. israel,S. newbrunswick ands. lokstedt could be considered to be the first record fromcamels in Egypt.
