This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of microscopy compared to moleculardetection of babesiosis infection in camels(Camelus dromedarius) in AL- Najaf AL-Ashrafprovince-Iraq, started from November 2017 to May 2018.The results showed that the totalprevalence using via microscopic examination and molecular detection method was 17.5%,54.16% respectively,however , the rate of females infection was 10% as compared with males25% by microscopic examination , whereas, the infection rate by using PCR in females andmales, 66.66% ,41.66% respectively. The results also showed that the rate of infection in the ageof less thana year was 6.66% and 28.33% in age of more than one year by microscopicalexaminations, While by using the molecular assay the rate of infection in the age of less than ayear was 45% and 63.33% in the age of more than one year.It has been conclude that PCR has ahigh ability to detect babesiosis in camels as compared with microscopic examination.
