Scientists have grown the virus from nasal swabs of two dromedaries in Saudi Arabia, geneticallysequenced it and found it was an "indistinguishable" match to MERS coronavirus foundin humans — an indication that the virus in the animals is capable of infecting humans92 // PANDEMIC / CORONAVIRUS: A VIRUS IN MODERN TIMES
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is an illness caused by avirus (more specifically, a coronavirus) called Middle East Respiratory SyndromeCoronavirus (MERS-CoV). Most MERS patients developed severerespiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath.About 3 or 4 out of every 10 patients reported with MERS have died.Health officials first reported the disease in Saudi Arabia in September 2012.Through retrospective (backward-looking) investigations, they later identifiedthat the first known cases of MERS occurred in Jordan in April 2012. Sofar, all cases of MERS have been linked through travel to, or residence in,countries in and near the Arabian Peninsula. The largest known outbreakof MERS outside the Arabian Peninsula occurred in the Republic of Koreain 2015. The outbreak was associated with a traveler returning from theArabian Peninsula.MERS-CoV has spread from ill people to others through close contact, suchas caring for or living with an infected person.MERS can affect anyone. MERS patients have ranged in age from youngerthan 1 to 99 years old.CDC continues to closely monitor the MERS situation globally. We areworking with partners to better understand the risks of this virus, includingthe source, how it spreads, and how to prevent infections. CDC recognizesthe potential for MERS-CoV to spread further and cause more cases globallyand in the U.S. We have provided information for travelers and are workingwith health departments, hospitals, and other partners to prepare for this.THE MANUAL ON VIRUSES// 93
