ABSTRACT
Mozaffari AA, Khalili M, Ardakani AP., Seroprevalence of bluetongue virus antibodies in camels, Onl J Vet Res., 27
(5): 280-284, 2023. Authors report seroprevalence of bluetongue virus
(BTV) in 2-5 year male and female camels in Iran. Fifty
nine serum samples were collected at abbatoir
for BTV antibody by c-ELISA tests to yield seroprevalence
of 67.8% (95% CI = 65.84-68.99 %) with no difference between genders
or age. Our samples were taken from locations with temperatures 42.5°C (dry) to
–12°C, suggesting conditions should not have been favourable for adult or
larvae of Culicoides. High seroprevalence
in our study suggest control may not only require vaccination and vector
eradication but restriction on transport of animals.
Keywords: Bluetongue, Virus, Camel, Competitive ELISA, Iran.
