Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a major animal health hazard in many countries throughout the world, causedby bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1). The study’s goal was to evaluate the prevalence of BoHV-1 seropositivity amongdromedary camels in three governorates in northern Egypt, as well as to identify risk variables related with BoHV-1seropositivity. A total of 321 blood samples were collected randomly from dromedary camels living in the selectedgovernorates and examined for presence of BoHV-1 antibody using ELISA test. The overall seroprevalence of BoHV-1among examined camels was 5.92% (95%CI: 3.82–9.06). Univariable analysis confirmed that the significant associa-tion (P < 0.05) between sex, history of abortion, contact with small ruminants and herd size and BoHV-1 seropositivity.Using multiple logistic regression analysis, the following risk factors were identified to be related with the presenceof BoHV-1 infection: sex (OR = 2.54, 95%CI: 0.63–10.22), history of abortion (OR = 4.16, 95%CI: 1.30–13.27), contactwith small ruminants (OR = 5.61, 95%CI: 1.67–18.80) and large herd size (OR = 10.52, 95%CI: 2.46–44.91). This studyestimated the disease’s seroprevalence in Egyptian dromedary camels, implying that camels could act as a BoHV-1reservoir for transmission to other species (PDF) Sero-survey of bovine herpes virus-1 in dromedary camels and associated risk factors.
