Mongolia is home to 454,000 domesticated two-humped camels (Camelus bactrianus) and several hundred wild Bactrian camels (Camelus ferus) but knowledge about the diversity of camel infectious pathogens in this country is still limited. In this article, all studies carried out on camel infectious diseases in Mongolia are reviewed. More than 100 documents published between 1936 and 2022 were systematically analysed to get information on this topic. In this communication we review articles that dealt with parasitic infections of Bactrian camels in Mongolia such as trypanosomosis, coccidiosis, toxoplasmosis, sarcocystosis, piroplasmosis, hydatidosis, trichostrongylidosis, parabronemosis, dipetalonemosis, tick infestation, sarcoptic mange, myiasis and vermipsillosis. The results showed that parasititoses are an issue in Mongolia in terms of economics and public health.
