Abstract: A random survey was conducted in six apparently healthy camels (camelus dromedarius- one humped) in a village nearer to Jamdoli, Jaipur for blood parasites by staining methods. Studies revealed the presence of Ehrlichia spp. in all the above six camels in the monocytes of the peripheral blood smears. Detailed studies ruled out the absence of ticks on the body surfaces of the camels and in the nearby vicinities. The camels maintained normal health state with subclinical status for Ehrlichia species organisms. The attributable risk factors associated for the presence of Ehrlichia species organisms in the healthy camel population discussed in this study.
