The camel MERS-CoV clustered with viral sequences obtained from the two human cases related to the farm and with a sequence from Hafr-Al-Batin as the next closest relative (fi gure 1). However, virological testing was unable to detect MERS-CoV viral sequences in camels, probably because only faecal and serum samples were analysed. Our report describes the fi rst detection of MERS-CoV in dromedary camels on a farm in Qatar that had been linked to human cases of the disease.	./cache/cord-281529-2rec51xg.txt	./txt/cord-281529-2rec51xg.txt
