We tested nasal swabs, breath samples from animals within this herd by the real-time PCR. However, the nasal swabs are still the sample of choice in the diagnosis of MERS-CoV among the infected dromedary camel population. Detection of the virus in the air of positive camel's herd [5, 6] may suggest the virus is excreted in the breath of the infected animals in high concentration. The aim of our study was to test the possibility of MERS-CoV shedding in the breath of the infected dromedary camels.
