Exportations of Symptomatic Cases of MERS-CoV Infection to Countries outside the Middle East

Cristina Carias et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2016 Apr.

Abstract

In 2012, an outbreak of infection with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), was detected in the Arabian Peninsula. Modeling can produce estimates of the expected annual number of symptomatic cases of MERS-CoV infection exported and the likelihood of exportation from source countries in the Middle East to countries outside the region.
