Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is a zoonotic disease. Dromedary camel is responsible of its transmission to humans. Accordingly, several human cases have been reported worldwide with a high mortality rate. In Algeria, no data reported on MERS prevalence in camels. This is a first seroprevalence study MERS-CoV in Algerian dromedaries. A total of 87 camel blood samples from EL -MENIAA and Ghardaia, were analyzed by anti-MERS-CoV IgG ELISA camel. The seroprevalence was 64 % and it significantly increases with age. Larger serological and molecular screening is needed to precisely determine the rate of MERS active circulation among Algerian dromedary population.
