Influenza A virus infections in dromedary camels, Nigeria and Ethiopia, 2015-2017

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 26, No. 1, Year 2020

We examined nasal swabs and serum samples acquired from dromedary camels in Nigeria and Ethiopia during 2015-2017 for evidence of influenza virus infection. We detected antibodies against influenza A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) viruses and isolated an influenza A(H1N1)pdm09-like virus from a camel in Nigeria. Influenza surveillance in dromedary camels is needed.
