Query BLASTn of these 5 contigs returned closely related viruses that belonged mostly to human and swine influenza A H1N1 strains isolated between 2009 and 2019 from different countries (Supplementary Table S2 ). We provide the first molecular evidence of influenza A virus circulation in dromedary camels imported from 2 African countries (Sudan and Djibouti) but not in local camels from Saudi Arabia. Our data as well as previous reports suggest that influenza A virus could cause a sustained infection in these animals, highlighting the need for enhanced field surveillance for influenzas viruses as well as other pathogen in dromedary camels to help implementing better preventative one-health plans and programs. ./cache/cord-305512-p5qchjva.txt ./txt/cord-305512-p5qchjva.txt
