Serological field investigations revealing natural exposure of one-humped dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) to foot-and-mouth disease virus in India.

ABSTRACT: Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the most significant animal diseases globally, affecting over 60 susceptible species including camelids particularly Bactrian camels. In order to gather baseline evidence on the current status of FMD in Indian camels, a preliminary random serosurvey was conducted in camels of Rajasthan state with significant camel population. A total of 777 sera collected from one-humped dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) across 11 districts of Rajasthan during 2016-2017 were screened for FMD virus (FMDV) 3ABC nonstructural protein (NSP)-antibodies using the commercial PrioCHECK® FMDV NS kit. The sera were further tested using in-house liquid phase blocking (LPB) ELISA to evaluate the level of protective structural protein (SP)-antibody responses against three vac
