  The title compound belongs to a wide group of quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D)
antiferromagnets (AF) and its Co2+ ions form Q1D screw-chains along the c-axis.
We here present the first investigation of the microscopic magnetic nature of a
single crystalline BaCo2V2O8 sample using {\mu}+SR. Our data reveal the
presence of several clear muon frequencies below TN indicating the onset of a
long-range order. Above 5 K, the {\mu}+SR spectra is well fitted to a simple
power-exponential relaxing function. The temperature dependence of the
relaxation-rate ({\lambda}) as well as the power (n) display a clear anomaly
around T = 44 K, indicating the onset of short-range 1D correlations.
