Abstract
Parasitic gastroenteritis (PGE) is a disease complex affecting sheep and goats and lead to greateconomic losses including reduction in the productivity, stunted growth, reduced weight gain, low fertility, high treatment costs, and mortality. A total of 783 faecal samples from Egyptian and Saudi Arabian sheep of different ages were examined parasitologically for presence of internal parasites in different seasons during the period from November 2014 to March 2016. Faecal egg counts of infested sheep were calculated to determine the intensity of infestation. The efficacy of used anthelmintics were evaluated after 2, 4 and 6 weeks post treatment. The results showed that the prevalence of infestation with PGE, Monezia, and mixed infestation in Egypt were 62.5, 17.3, 9.2 and 11%, while in Saudi Arabia were 88.6, 2.2, 0 and 9.2%, respectively
