Functional comparison of MERS-coronavirus lineages reveals increased zoonotic potential of the recombinant lineage 5

2020-07-15

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) can cause severe pneumonia in humans. The virus is enzootic in dromedary camels across the Middle East and Africa. It is acquired through animal contact and undergoes limited onward transmission particularly in hospitals. Because of this initial potential for human-to-human transmission, we monitor the virus for phenotypic changes...
