Abstract

AbstractA total of 136 dromedary camel sera were serologically tested for six different infectious diseases to investigate the dromedary camel disease situation in Kenya. The sera originated from different herds and areas of Kenya. Rift Valley Fever antibodies were found in 47% of the camels, followed by Trypanosoma evansi with 10.3%, Brucellosis with 7.4%, West Nile Fever with 23.5%, and Blue Tongue with 75.7%. No antibodies were detected for Peste des Petits Ruminants. The results found are discussed for every disease.
