MERS-CoV: in search of answers

________
In recent weeks, researchers have uncovered key molecular and clinical details about this novel virus, but fundamental questions remain about how it spreads. Anna Petherick reports. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has been a cause for concern for months, with a steady trickle of new cases, often fatal, dating back to April, 2012. Until March of this year there were fewer than five confirmed infections per month, but April and May each saw 19 new cases, driven up by a cluster in the Al-Ahsa region in eastern Saudi Arabia. Most people now known to have caught MERS-CoV have done so from another human being.
