AB  - The present study was undertaken on epidemiology and diagnosis of babesiosis in 
      sheep and goats in Bengaluru Urban and Rural districts of Karnataka state from 
      November 2017 to May 2018. Out of 343 (225 sheep and 118 goats) blood smears 
      examined by Giemsa and acridine orange (AO) fluorescent dye staining methods, 
      3.55 and 4.0 per cent of sheep and 0.84 and 1.69 per cent of goat samples were 
      found positive for Babesia organisms, respectively. The sensitivity and 
      specificity was found to be higher in AO fluorescent dye staining method. In 
      agewise susceptibility, the percent positivity was found to be higher in animals 
      > 6 months old. In genderwise susceptibility, the percent positivity was found to 
      be higher in females than males. Hence, AO fluorescent dye staining method is 
      found to be very rapid and cost effective diagnostic method for treatment and 
      control of babesiosis.
