Table 2. Demographic data and clinical test results for MERS-CoV–infected dromedary camels imported from Oman to United Arab Emirates, May 2015*.

Camel ID Age/sex Purpose of importation Mucopurulent nasal discharge† Test results
RT-PCR (Ct)†‡ Rapid antigen test†§ Serum neutralizing antibody titer†¶
ADFCA-HKU1 4 m/F Breeding Moderate Pos (24.54) Pos 1:40
ADFCA-HKU2 4 m/F Breeding Moderate Pos (27.59) Pos 1:40
ADFCA-HKU3 4 m/F Breeding Moderate Pos (28.82) Neg 1:80
ADFCA-HKU4 7 m/F Breeding Moderate Pos (29.81) Neg 1:80
ADFCA-HKU5 10 y/F Breeding Mild Pos (30.05) Neg 1:160

*Ct, cycle threshold; ID, identification; MERS-CoV, Middle East respiratory syndrome; Neg, negative; Pos, positive; RT-PCR, reverse transcription PCR.
†Observations or samples from the second sampling on May 14, 2015.
‡Results were determined by open reading frame 1A and upstream of E gene RT-PCR assays; Ct values were from the open reading frame 1A assay. Ct values from both assays were comparable (data not shown).
§Results were determined by immunochromatographic tests for MERS-CoV nucleocapsid protein (12).
¶Results were determined by pseudoparticle neutralization assays (11).
