Risk of global spread of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) via the air transport network	2016-09-05		.txt	text/plain	4996	217	54	In order to prevent global outbreaks such as the one seen in South Korea, it is critical for high-risk countries to be prepared and have appropriate screening and triage protocols in place to identify travel-related cases of MERS-CoV. The results provide a country level ranking and corresponding expected relative risk, which can be used by public health authorities in each country to ensure the appropriate screening and triage protocols are in place to identify travel-related cases of MERS-coronavirus. The proposed model quantifies the relative risk of disease spread by MERS-CoV-infected travellers departing from the Middle East and arriving at any given world airport. The analysis quantifies the relative expected risk of MERS-CoV-infected (air travel) passengers arriving at airports based on a set of active transmission regions, the outbreak size at each and travel patterns; the model does not include the potential importation of infected intermediary hosts or intermediary host by-products since the influence of that possibility is yet to be established.	./cache/cord-328298-tm7gds8h.txt	./txt/cord-328298-tm7gds8h.txt
