| Abstract | ||
| Foot-and-mouth-disease (FMD) is one of the most important trans-boundary animal diseases in Iran outbreaks occurring mostly in cattle and small ruminants. However, there is scarcity of information on the potential role of camels in the epidemiology of FMD virus south of Iran. A total of 184 camel sera collected from three south provinces of Iran (Fars, Bushehr and Hormozgan) and there were screened for the presence of antibodies produced against 3ABC non-structural proteins (NSP) for foot-mouth-disease virus (FMDV) using a commercially available kit ID Vet® FMDV NSP. None, (0%) out of the 184 sera samples were tested positive for 3ABC NSP ELISA. Sera were collected from different ages and locations and from 18 herds. Many reports show that new and old world camelids possess a low susceptibility to (FMD), and do not appear to be long-term carriers of the foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV).This study showed camels not infected by FMDV in contact with small ruminants. | ||
