NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) ? The Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) appears to have recombined prior to being introduced to China earlier this year, according to a genomic and phylogenetic analysis published in mBio this week.
A team led by investigators at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention sequenced the genome of a MERS-CoV strain dubbed ChinaGD01 that was introduced to China in May after first reaching South Korea, where a Korean man returned home ill after visiting four Middle Eastern countries. A handful of his relatives subsequently contracted the virus, as did an individual who visited the man's father in the hospital before traveling to China later that month...
