Abstract

FMD in Saudi Arabia is considered one of the enzootic animal diseases that cause severe economic
losses With outbreaks reported in cattle and sheep. The potential role of Camelus dromedaries in the
epidemiology of FMD is unclear. In the current study, a total of 180 apparently healthy dromedary
camels (Camelus dromedaries) were randomly sampled and sera were screened for the presence of
antibodies produced against SABC non-structural proteins (NSP) for FMDV using a commercially
available ELISA kit. Nineteen out of the 180 sera samples tested positive with an overall prevalence
10.45%. The obtained results appear that dromedaries might be a susceptible species to FMD infection
similar to cattle, sheep and goats in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia.
