Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Seropositivity among Dromedary Camels, Algeria, 2020-2021

Emerg Infect Dis. 2023 Dec;29(12):2546-2548. doi: 10.3201/eid2912.230587.ABSTRACTSerosurvey results for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus antibodies in dromedary camels in Algeria indicate that the pathogen is circulating endemically in desertic areas, despite the hostile environment. Thus, dromedaries are suitable sentinels for detecting human risk for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in desertic areas.PMID:37987592 | DOI:10.3201/eid2912.230587
