我们通过报告2014年9月至12月苏丹东部肖瓦克地区涉及单峰骆驼和三名骆驼牧民的感染，为骆驼痘病毒的人畜共患病提供了证据。骆驼牧民的皮肤损害包括红斑、水泡和脓疱，涉及手臂、手、腿、背部和腹部，在不到2个月的时间内消失，没有人传人。诊断是通过分子技术、细胞培养病毒分离和部分基因组测序来实现的。
We provide evidence for the zoonotic nature of camelpox virus by reporting infections that involved dromedary camels and three camel herders in Showak area of eastern Sudan between September and December 2014. The skin lesions in the camel herders consisted of erythema, vesicles, and pustules that involved arms, hands, legs, back, and abdomen and resolved within less than 2 months with no human-to-human transmission. The diagnosis was achieved through molecular technique, virus isolation in cell culture, and partial genome sequencing.
