This study was executed in Qassim region, central of Saudi Arabia to determine the clinical and therapeutic impact associated with contagious skin necrosis (CSN) in dromedary camels. One thousand dromedary camels were used in this study. The prevalence of contagious skin necrosis among examined camels was 2.70%. The prevalence of the disease was significantly (p = 0.01) higher in camels under three years (4.55%) than camels older than three years (1.49). Concerning gender predisposition, the prevalence was significantly (p = 0.0001) higher in male camels (13.78%) than females ones (1.14%). Clinically, camels infected with contagious skin necrosis showed lesions in the form of multiple circular necrotic areas of the skin and sometimes multiple abscesses in brisket and chest areas. Treatment of the infected camels using Amoxycillin and clavulanic acid gave the same results as penicillin plus streptomycin but it offers a faster cure rate. Finally, it can be concluded that contagious skin necrosis in camels is common in Saudi Arabia and Amoxycillin and clavulanic acid is the best choice for treatment.

: Dromedary camels are the natural reservoirs of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Camels are mostly bred in East African countries then exported into Africa and Middle East for consumption. To understand the distribution of MERS-CoV among camels in North Africa and the Middle East, we conducted surveillance in Egypt, Senegal, Tunisia, Uganda, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. We also performed longitudinal studies of three camel herds in Egypt and Jordan to elucidate MERS-CoV infection and transmission. Between 2016 and 2018, a total of 4027 nasal swabs and 3267 serum samples were collected from all countries. Real- time PCR revealed that MERS-CoV RNA was detected in nasal swab samples from Egypt, Senegal, Tunisia, and Saudi Arabia. Microneutralization assay showed that antibodies were detected in all countries. Positive PCR samples were partially sequenced, and a phylogenetic tree was built. The tree suggested that all sequences are of clade C and sequences from camels in Egypt formed a separate group from previously published sequences. Longitudinal studies showed high seroprevalence in adult camels. These results indicate the widespread distribution of the virus in camels. A systematic active surveillance and longitudinal studies for MERS-CoV are needed to understand the epidemiology of the disease and dynamics of viral infection.
