The prevalence of bovine babesiosis and theileriosis in northern, middle and southern regions of Kerala was studied. A total of 246 apparently normal/healthy crossbred adult cattle blood smears were screened by microscopy after Giemsa’s staining. Among 246 animals screened, 26.82 per cent were positive for Theileria orientalis and 8.13 per cent were positive for Babesia bigemina. The present study revealed, higher prevalence of T. orientalis in northern Kerala (40 per cent) and middle Kerala (39.28 per cent), whereas B. bigemina was highly prevalent in southern Kerala (14.94 per cent).
