Inoculation of Goats, Sheep, and Horses with MERS-CoV Does Not Result in Productive Viral Shedding	2016-08-19		.txt	text/plain	2989	149	50	The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is an emerging pathogen first described from Saudi Arabia in 2012 [1] that can cause severe respiratory disease and death in roughly 36% of infected humans [2] . There is considerable field and experimental evidence that dromedary camels serve as an important reservoir host involved in transmission to humans [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] , but whether other livestock such as goats, sheep, and horses play a role in transmission has only been assessed indirectly. The objective of this study was to determine if goats, sheep, and horses can be infected with MERS-CoV and assess their potential importance in viral transmission. Sheep, goat kids and horses were each inoculated intranasally with 1.4 × 10 6 to 1.9 × 10 6 plaque-forming units (PFU) of a low passage human isolate of MERS-CoV (strain HCoV-EMC/2012) propagated in Vero E6 cells as described previously [11] .	./cache/cord-309239-6lso1w0o.txt	./txt/cord-309239-6lso1w0o.txt
