Low-Level Zoonotic Transmission of Clade C MERS-CoV in Africa: Insights from a Scoping Review and Cohort Studies in Hospital and Community Settings

2024-11-20

Abstract excerpt

Human outbreaks of Middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are more common in middle Eastern and Asian human populations, associated with clades A and B. In Africa, where clade C is dominant in camels, human cases are minimal. We reviewed 16 studies (n= 6198) published across seven African countries between 2012-2024 to assess human MERS-CoV cases. We also analyzed data from four cohort studies con...
