Abstract

Individual camel [Camelus dromedarius] colostrum and normal milk samples were tested for the presence of antibodies to rota and coronaviruses. Some of colostrum and milk samples tested were positive for antirotavirus antibodies; all samples were nigative for anticoronavirus antibodies. Colostrum samples had higher antirotavirus antibodies titers than those of normal milk. The antirotavirus activity in colostrum is strongly due to immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin A in normal milk. It can be concluded that the presence of specific immunoglobulins for human rotavirus not bovine coronavirus suggests that the antigenic similarities between human and camel rotaviruses are found and no similarities between camel and bovine coronaviruses. Camel raw milk can be considered a strong viral inhibitor to human rotavirus and not to bovine coronavirus.
