Article Synopsis
- Understanding MERS-CoV in dromedary camels is crucial because they are a source of zoonotic infections in humans.
- A study was conducted in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, and Morocco, revealing the highest MERS-CoV RNA rates in Ethiopia (15.7%), followed by Burkina Faso (12.2%) and Morocco (7.6%).
- Factors like the purpose of breeding (milk/meat vs. transport) and herd size influenced infection rates, with younger camels and larger herds showing higher MERS-CoV seropositivity.
