Abstract

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is a zoonotic disease. Dromedary camel is responsible of its transmission to humans. Accordingly, several human cases have been reported worldwide with a high mortality rate. In Algeria, no data reported on MERS prevalence in camels. This is a first seroprevalence study MERS-CoV in Algerian dromedaries. A total of 87 camel blood samples from EL -MENIAA and Ghardaia, were analyzed by anti-MERS-CoV IgG ELISA camel. The seroprevalence was 64 % and it significantly increases with age. Larger serological and molecular screening is needed to precisely determine the rate of MERS active circulation among Algerian dromedary population.

阿尔及利亚单峰骆驼首次出现MERS-CoV血清学证据。

中东呼吸综合征（MERS）是一种人畜共患疾病。骆驼是传播给人类的罪魁祸首。因此，世界各地报告了几例死亡率很高的人类病例。在阿尔及利亚，没有关于骆驼MERS患病率的数据报告。这是首次对阿尔及利亚综合征中MERS-CoV的血清流行率进行研究。采用抗MERS-CoV-IgG ELISA法对来自EL-MENIAA和Ghardaia的87份骆驼血液样本进行了分析。血清流行率为64%，并且随着年龄的增长而显著增加。需要进行更大规模的血清学和分子筛查，以准确确定阿尔及利亚单峰骆驼人群中MERS活跃循环的比率。

期刊介绍： Comparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases aims to respond to the concept of "One Medicine" and to provide a venue for scientific exchange. Based on the concept of "Comparative Medicine" interdisciplinary cooperation between specialists in human and animal medicine is of mutual interest and benefit. Therefore, there is need to combine the respective interest of physicians, veterinarians and other health professionals for comparative studies relevant to either human or animal medicine . The journal is open to subjects of common interest related to the immunology, immunopathology, microbiology, parasitology and epidemiology of human and animal infectious diseases, especially zoonotic infections, and animal models of human infectious diseases. The role of environmental factors in disease emergence is emphasized. CIMID is mainly focusing on applied veterinary and human medicine rather than on fundamental experimental research.
