The present study was conducted on a total of 200 one-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) Two hundred and ninty samples were collected from the respiratory tract. Mycoplasmas could be isloted from pneumonic lungs but not from apparently normal lungs. A total of 122 Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma strains were recovered and the highest was nasal swabs (87.50%) and the lowest was from mediastinal (16.66%). M.arginina and A.laidlawii could be identified, while A.oculi could be isolated from nasal and pneum onic lungs only. Four hundred thirty samples from urogenital tract revealed the presence of 88 isolates from both female and male genital tract. The rate isolation was higher from the vagina of non pregnant she camels (22.85%) in contrast to (14.28%) among pregnant she camels . M.arginini, A.laidlawii could be identified , in addition to Ureaplasma species from the genital tract of camels. Its distribution in the genital tract of both male and female camels were described in details. Examination of two hundred sixty samples obtained from the digestive system of camels revealed the presence of 105 Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma isolates, M.ariginin and A.laidawii were the predominant isolates.
