Article Synopsis
- Surra is a major cause of abortion in dromedary camels and leads to significant economic losses; a study was conducted in Southern Tunisia from December 2018 to December 2019 to assess its prevalence and risk factors.
- The study collected 1205 blood samples from camels across 277 farms, revealing an overall individual seroprevalence of 30.8% and herd seroprevalence of 64.9%, with higher rates found in the Kebili region.
- Key risk factors identified included camel age and herd size, while factors like sex, farm type, and prior trypanocidal treatment showed no significant impact; the results highlight the need for better disease surveillance and control efforts.
