Middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS)
URL: https://wesr-staging.azurewebsites.net/glossary/ajax/ajax.searchalloccurance.php?q=761
A viral respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, or MERS-CoV) that was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Typical MERS symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Approximately 35 per cent of reported patients with MERS have died. The virus does not seem to pass easily from person to person and most human cases of MERS have been attributed to human-to-human infections in health care settings. The largest outbreaks have occurred in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the Republic of Korea. Current scientific evidence suggests that dromedary camels are a major reservoir host for MERS-CoV and an animal source of MERS infection in humans.
