We investigated two outbreaks of papillomatosis between 2013 and 2015 in Al Ahsa region of eastern Saudi Arabia involving fourteen dromedary camels. The disease affected both young and adult animals and occurred in coincidence with demodectic mange infestation. Diagnosis was made based on gross and histopathological characteristics of the wart lesion and was confirmed by PCR. Rolling circle amplification followed by degenerate primer PCR and sequencing of the amplicons revealed the presence of both Camelus dromedarius papillomavirus types 1 and 2, previously identified in infected dromedaries in Sudan.
2013年至2015年期间，我们对沙特阿拉伯东部艾卜哈地区发生的两起乳头状瘤病疫情进行了调查，涉及14峰单峰骆驼。该病影响幼龄和成年动物，且与蠕形螨病感染同时发生。根据疣病变的大体和组织病理学特征进行诊断，并通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）得到证实。滚环扩增后进行简并引物PCR及扩增子测序，结果显示存在1型和2型单峰骆驼乳头瘤病毒，这两种病毒先前在苏丹感染的单峰骆驼中已被鉴定。
