Abstract

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERSCoV) is endemic in dromedaries in Africa, but camelto- human transmission is limited. Sustained 12-month sampling of dromedaries in a Kenya abattoir hub showed biphasic MERS-CoV incidence; peak detections occurred in October 2022 and February 2023. Dromedaryexposed abattoir workers (7/48) had serologic signs of previous MERS-CoV exposure.
