Serological evidence of natural exposure of camels Camelus dromedaries to foot and mouth disease virus

Serological evidence of natural exposure of camels to foot and mouth disease virus

The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) Code chapter on FMD includes camelids as being susceptible species to FMD similar to cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. A total of 376 field camel sera, collected from different regions of Riyadh and AlQassim Province in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, were screened for the presence of antibodies produced against 3ABC non® structural proteins (NSP) of FMD...

Correction: Serological Evidence of MERS-CoV Antibodies in Dromedary Camels (Camelus dromedaries) in Laikipia County, Kenya

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a recently identified virus causing severe viral respiratory illness in people. Little is known about the reservoir in the Horn of Africa. In Kenya, where no human MERS cases have been reported, our survey of 335 dromedary camels, representing nine herds in Laikipia County, showed a high seroprevalence (46.9%) to MERS-CoV antibodies. Be...
