Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus experimental transmission using a pig model	2017-06-26		.txt	text/plain	1772	90	58	Dromedary camels are the main reservoir of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS‐CoV), but other livestock species (i.e., alpacas, llamas, and pigs) are also susceptible to infection with MERS‐CoV. Virus was present in nasal swabs of infected animals, and limited amounts of viral RNA, but no infectious virus were detected in the direct contact pigs. However, other animal species such as non-human primates (rhesus macaques and common marmosets), members of the family Camelidae (alpacas and llamas), rabbits and pigs have been demonstrated to be susceptible to MERS-CoV infection (Crameri et al., 2016; Falzarano et al., 2014; Haagmans et al., 2015; Vergara-Alert, van den Brand, et al., 2017; de Wit et al., 2013 de Wit et al., , 2017 . To study whether MERS-CoV might be transmitted between pigs, an experimental transmission study in this animal model was designed and performed under direct and indirect contact settings.	./cache/cord-309734-m8miwtha.txt	./txt/cord-309734-m8miwtha.txt
