Seroprevalence of Alkhurma and other hemorrhagic fever viruses, Saudi Arabia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 17, No. 12, Year 2011

A 2009 deployment of military units from several Saudi Arabian provinces to Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia, enabled us to evaluate exposure to Alkhurma, Crimean-Congo, dengue, and Rift Valley hemorrhagic fever viruses. Seroprevalence to all viruses was low; however, Alkhurma virus seroprevalence was higher (1.3%) and less geographically restricted than previously thought.
