Assessing the pandemic potential of MERS-CoV
Original Text
Chris T Bauch a b, Tamer Oraby b
________
The emergence in 2012 of a new disease-causing coronavirus has generated substantial concern. As of June 26, 2013, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) had caused 77 laboratory-confirmed cases and 40 deaths. The virus is related to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) that emerged in 2002?03. And, as SARS-CoV had during its prepandemic stage, MERS-CoV has probably been transmitted from an unknown animal host to human beings repeatedly in the past year.
