| Abstract | ||
| This serological study was carried out to detect antibodies in dromedary camels against BVD virus in Aswan governorate. A total of 92 serum samples, were collected from camels from Abo-Sembel Quarantine in Aswan governorate and examined for BVDV antibodies, using the indirect ELISA. Twenty five of the 92 camels (27.2%) were positive for BVDV antibodies. This study indicated an increased frequency of infection rate with increasing age of camels, as it was 32.4% in age group from 5- 10 years and 9.5% in 1-5 years old, and the degree of positivity varied from one positive to five positive. | ||
