The work was done during the period between November 1990 and May 1992. The total number of the examined animals were 2150 adult sheep and 760 adult goats. The clinical and laboratory examinations revealed that 21.4% of sheep and 15.8% of goats were infested with internal p arasites. The reported p arasites were Eimeria spp ., Trichostrongylus sp p ., Haemonchus spp ., Ostertagia spp ., Oesop hagostomum Columbianum and Trichuris ovis. The clinical symptoms ap peared were characterized by anaemia, emaciation, loss of weight and diarrhoea.
