N2  - This study was done to obtain a descriptive insight about the prevalence of piroplasmosis in Egypt. One hundred and seventeen blood films of horses and donkeys were examined for evidence of piroplasm stages in stained blood smears while sera of the same animals were processed using the competitive inhibition ELISA (cELISA) to detect antibodies for T. equi and B. caballi. On clinical examination, all animals were apparently health except four cases of horses showed fever (40oc-41oc), loss of appetite, increased respiratory rate, conjunctivitis, lacrimation and enlarged lymph nodes. T. equi were detected in nine horses (11.2%) and two donkeys (5.4%) using Giemsa-stained blood smears
