  abstract = {{T}rypanosomosis due to {T}rypanosoma evansi (surra) is a major enzootic disease of the dromedary camel. {T}he present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of camel trypanosomosis in the northern part of {S}audi {A}rabia with different methods of diagnosis ({ELISA}, {PCR}) and to compare the results to whose obtained previously with {C}ard {A}gglutination {T}est for {T}rypanosomiasis ({CATT}/{T}.evansi). {A} total of 195 blood samples and 118 serum samples were used for molecular and serological investigation respectively. {A}fter analyses, 25% (49/195) and 3% (4/118) samples were positive using {PCR} and {ELISA} respectively. {T}he variability of trypanosomosis was highly significant to the factor moving, location, breed and clinical signs with {PCR}. {T}he discrepancy between {PCR}, {CATT} test and {ELISA} is likely due to antibodies degradation on spotted papers maintained several weeks at ambient temperature. {T}his is the first molecular diagnosis report which gives a picture of camel trypanosomosis in {A}l-jouf, {S}audi {A}rabia.},
