First serological evidence of MERS-CoV in dromedary camels from Algeria
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.
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.
