AU - Peiris, Malik T1 - Influenza A Virus Infections in Dromedary Camels, Nigeria and Ethiopia, 2015–2017 T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2020 VL - 26 IS - 1 SP - 173 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We examined nasal swabs and serum samples acquired from dromedary camels in Nigeria and Ethiopia during 2015–2017 for evidence of influenza virus infection. We detected antibodies against influenza A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) viruses and isolated an influenza A(H1N1)pdm09–like virus from a camel in Nigeria. Influenza surveillance in dromedary camels is needed.
