Abstract
This project attends to exam the prevalence of piroplasmosis in sheep and camels in Al-Najaf desert of Iraq during period of May 2015 to April 2016. The samples were randomly collected from different regions in Al-Najaf province and represent 230 sheep (127 female, 103 male ) and 140 camels ( 90 shecamels and 50 male) . Blood smears were subjected to Geimsa stained and microscopic examination. It was observed that prevalence of babesiosis and theileriosis in sheep were 26.9% and 12.17% respectively ,while in camels the prevalence was25% for babesiosis and 10.7% for theileriosis . The highest incidence for babesiosis was recorded in camels at age more than 4 years , while the lowest percentage was recorded in ages between6-12 month in both species. The highest ratio for theileriosis was observed in camels at ages 1-4 years.The maximal occurrence of babesiosis and theileriosis were noticed in summer season (33.5%) and (15%) respectively in both species , while in winter season were (17.6%)and ((7.6%)respectively .The highest percentage of babesiosis was found in females of sheep and camels (41.7%and 30%respectively) than male (18.4%and 16%respectively).
