While the middle standard of chronic Babesiasis in the cattle was high in comparison to Babesiasis in man with height important variations, P<0.001. The middle standard of acute Babesiasis in humans was high in comparison to the healthy individuals with height important variations, P=<0.001. However the chronic Babesiasis was high concentration compared to the healthy individuals, P=<0.001.  Furthermore the acute Babesia infection was high level compared to the healthy peoples, P=<0.001. Also the chronic babesiasis in cattle was high level in comparison to the healthy group, P=<0.001. But that no moral variation among age groups and distribution sites among infected human.
