为了分析中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒（MERS-CoV）血清阳性单峰骆驼在东非的分布情况，我们检测了过去30年积累的189份存档血清样本。我们在来自主要骆驼出口国苏丹和索马里的81.0%的样本中发现了MERS-CoV中和抗体，这表明这些动物中存在长期病毒传播。
To analyze the distribution of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)–seropositive dromedary camels in eastern Africa, we tested 189 archived serum samples accumulated during the past 30 years. We identified MERS-CoV neutralizing antibodies in 81.0% of samples from the main camel-exporting countries, Sudan and Somalia, suggesting long-term virus circulation in these animals.
