To determine the presence and prevalence of bluetongue virus infection in camels at different geographical regions of Somaliland, a competitive enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (cELISA) for the detection of serum antibody against BTV in clinically healthy camels has been carried out at northern Somalia in two main districts of camel-rearing regions namely, Togdheer, and Waqoyi Galbed in the period between July 2008 to April 2009. Results for bluetongue infection, herd size, and herd location, mixing with other animal species with various other associations were detected among demographic, husbandry and disease variables.
