英文摘要	Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne zoonosis that severely impacts livelihoods, national and international economies, and human health. Few studies have investigated the prevalence of this infection in Tunisian livestock. The present report aimed to update the epidemiological status and identify the risk factors associated with this RVF virus infection in the one-humped dromedary camel from arid areas. A total of 470 sera of apparently healthy camels (Camelus dromedarius) were collected from six governorates from southern and central Tunisia. Samples were tested by a competitive Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). An overall, 162 camels (34%, 95%CI: 0.1-0.4) were seropositive to RVF virus antigen. Logistic regression model revealed three potential risk factors associated with the infection. A meaningful high seropositivity was observed among aged camels ( > 10 years-old) (40%) (P = 0.001; OR = 3.367). Besides, camels raised in small flocks particularly intended for meat production showed a high level of seropositivity (37%) (P = 0.013; OR =13.173). Animals having close contact with other ruminants showed high seroprevalence (37%) (P = 0.022; OR =10.919). This report indicated that Tunisian one-humped dromedaries were exposed to this virus and may contribute to its dissemination among farmers and other livestock. Furthers studies are urgently required to isolate and characterize this virus, evaluate the potential risk of human infection particularly in farmers, veterinarians and slaughterhouse workers and finally to program a serious strategy for RVF control.
