Sumario:About 180,000 old world camels (OWCs) including one-humped (Camelus Dromedarius) and two-humped (Camelus Bactrianus) camels (only 100–300 individuals) live in Iran. Abortion is one of the problems of camel breeders in Iran at various aspects, i.e. economical, animal healthcare or zoonotic. So far, some epizootological studies have been conducted on infectious diseases of Iranian camels. However, there is the absence of comprehensive information on the camel abortion status in Iran. We aimed at collecting all the available information on abortion in Dromedary and Bactrian camels in Iran to have a better picture of the situation in the country. Based on studies that examined the causes of abortion of dromedary camels in different provinces; Brucellosis, trypanosomiasis, leptospirosis, salmonellosis, bovine viral diarrhea, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and aspergillosis are common factors of abortion in the country. This review can provide baseline information for future research and give significant contributions to figuring the disease control strategies.
