Abstract
Camel is one of the important multipurpose animals, found in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. It is primarily used for draught purpose along with meat and milk production. In Pakistan, majority of camel population is found in Balochistan province. The disease called Surra is of great concern for the camel beneficiaries. It is caused by Trypanosoma evansi, a well known protozoan. Treatment of Surra with different kind of drugs is leading to multi drug resistance development; more susceptibility to camel as compare to other species. Lack of availability of vaccines is big hurdle in the treatment and prevention. Here, in this article, we will discuss prevalence, pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of Surra in camel.
