Replicative Capacity of MERS Coronavirus in Livestock Cell Lines
Emerging Infectious Diseases
|January 25, 2014
Abstract:
Replicative capacity of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was assessed in cell lines derived from livestock and peridomestic small mammals on the Arabian Peninsula. Only cell lines originating from goats and camels showed efficient replication of MERS-CoV. These results provide direction in the search for the intermediate host of MERS-CoV.
