Antibodies against MERS Coronavirus in Dromedary Camels, Kenya, 1992–2013

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: Dromedary camels are a putative source for human infections with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus. We showed that camels sampled in different regions in Kenya during 1992-2013 have antibodies against this virus. High densities of camel populations correlated with increased seropositivity and might be a factor in predicting long-term virus maintenance.
