Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Infection in Dromedary Camels in Saudi Arabia
- Medicine, BiologymBio
- 2014
Evidence is provided from a geographic and temporal survey of camels in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that MERS coronaviruses have been circulating in camels since at least 1992, are distributed countrywide, and can be phylogenetically classified into clades that correlate with outbreaks of the disease among humans.

Seroprevalence studies revealed MERS-CoV exposure among all sampled domestic camels across Oman and two major healthcare-associated outbreaks due to superspreading events led to massive numbers of cases and excessive morbidity and mortality in several countries.

The results support the recent findings that infection with MERS‐CoV or a closely related virus is not a new occurrence in camels in the Middle East and a widespread pandemic may be less likely unless significant evolution of the virus allow accelerated infection and spread potential in the human population.

In a surveillance study for CoV in noncaged animals from the wild areas of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region, a CoV closely related to SARS-CoV is identified from 23 (39%) of 59 anal swabs of wild Chinese horseshoe bats by using RT-PCR and the presence of a 29-bp insertion in ORF 8 of bat-SARS- coV genome suggests that it has a common ancestor with civet SARS -CoV.

The present data suggest that SARSr-Rh-BatCoV causes acute, self-limiting infection in horseshoe bats, which serve as a reservoir for recombination between strains from different geographical locations within reachable foraging range.

Whether the virus is capable of causing widespread human epidemics, and whether self-sustaining transmission is already under way, is assessed and how existing data, future investigations and analyses may help in reducing uncertainty and refining the public health risk assessment is discussed.

The number of reported cases increased markedly in April 2014 with 217 cases and 38 deaths; with such an increase in cases, it is much more likely that the US will see travelers who have been exposed and infected with MERS Co-V.

Although OC43 and NCDCV share antigenic determinants, they possessed several different biological properties, including plaque morphology by the infectious centre assay, agglutination of 1-day-old chick erythrocytes and resistance of haemagglutinin to physical and chemical treatments.
