Abstract
A serological survey was conducted to detect antibodies in dromedary camels against viral diseases of veterinary importance in Saudi Arabia. The goal of this study was to examine the extent of exposure of the camel. to such diseases, reflected by positive or negative seroconversion. The overall results indicated that out of 2,472 examined sera samples, 10.6% had antibodies against the viruses investigated in the present study. The incidence of infection was 20% for rinderpest, 18% for bovine viral diarrhoea, 13% for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, 1.5% for bluetongue, and 0.2% for Rift Valley fever.
