High seroprevalence of Middle East respiratory syndrome corona virus (MERS-CoV) in dromedary camels has been previously reported in United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, the molecular detection of the virus has never been reported before in UAE. Of the 7,803 nasal swabs tested in the epidemiological survey, MERS-CoV nucleic acid was detected by real-time PCR in a total of 126 (1.6 %) camels. Positive camels were detected at the borders with Saudi Arabia and Oman and in camels' slaughter houses. MERS-CoV partial sequences obtained from UAE camels were clustering with human- and camel-derived MERS-CoV sequences in the same geographic area. Results provide further evidence of MERS-CoV zoonosis.
此前在阿拉伯联合酋长国(阿联酋)曾有报道称,单峰骆驼中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)血清阳性率很高。然而,此前在阿联酋从未有过该病毒分子检测的报道。在流行病学调查中检测的7803份鼻拭子中,通过实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)共检测到126头(1.6%)骆驼的MERS-CoV核酸。在与沙特阿拉伯和阿曼接壤的边境地区以及骆驼屠宰场检测到了阳性骆驼。从阿联酋骆驼身上获得的MERS-CoV部分序列与同一地理区域内源自人类和骆驼的MERS-CoV序列聚类。结果为MERS-CoV人畜共患病提供了进一步证据。
