“…Viral and serological surveillance revealed a high rate of seropositivity to MERS-CoV in dromedary camels, including detection of antibodies to MERS-CoV in sera of camels in different countries (i.e., Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Nigeria, Tunisia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Canary islands, Pakistan, and Mali) [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Recovery of MERS-CoV genome sequences from camels with a high degree of homology to their counterparts in humans and isolation of MERS-like CoV from camels have been reported [9,10,14,15,19,20,21]. Together, these results suggest that the MERS-CoV detected in dromedary camels is the most likely source of the human infection [8,9,15,20,21].…”
