This study was carried out to determine the fungal pathogens which isolated from oral cavity of camel in bordered Local Government Areas of Sokoto State. Fourty (40) samples of camel oral cavity were collected from camel herds in Illela, Gada, Gudu and Sabon Birni Local Government Areas in Sokoto and were analyzed using microbial culture, fungal staining and microscopic features. The results of the study revealed that all the fourty samples of camel oral swab collected and analyzed were positive for fungal growth. The fungal pathogens isolated from the oral swab samples were Aspergillus flavus (20), Mucor spp. (12) and Candida tropicalis (08), which is classified in to (30) species of mould and (10) species of yeast. The study shows that fungal pathogens present in the oral cavity of camel were mainly mould with least occurrence of yeast. Consequently, is recommended that public and National awareness campaign that involves the raising of standard of living and hygiene mostly in the rural areas can help to educate the herders on the dangers associated with Oro-fungal thrush of camels
