Camel is occupied barren and semi- barren areas. It is to be among important species due to employed for multifunction and different purposes. It has the possibility to face unpredictable environmental conditions. However, hemoparasitic diseases are distinctly disturbing camels in the tropical countries lead to economic loss. Babesiosis is hemoprotozoal disease achieved economic importance resulted from high mortality. So that, our study was conducted to demonstrate an extent of babesia species to induce health risks in camel. One hundred (100) camels obtained from Daraw and Aswan slaughter houses belonging to Aswan Province from period October 2019 to September 2020. The survey camels were apparent healthy. Blood samples were withdrawn from jugular veins for parasitological examination, complete blood picture and biochemical assays. Tissues specimens from lymph nodes and liver of the infected camels exposed histological examinations. Based on the results obtained from this survey; the percentage of babesia infection between slaughtered camels was 5 % during this period. Hematologically, babesia induced a significant reduction in some hematological parameters involving Red blood cells (RBCs), hemoglobin (Hb.) concentration and packed cell volume (PCV) when compared with non-infected camels. Biochemically, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and urea levels were significantly increased in the babesia infected camels in comparison with non-infected camels. From the histoppathological point of view, babesia infected camels exhibited lymphoid depletion, edema and necrosis in lymph nodes. The liver showed hepatocellular degeneration and portal cirrhosis. It could be concluded that babesiosis was evidently associated with some clinicopathological manifestations among camel species.
