📄 Acute middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection in livestock dromedaries, Dubai, 2014

© 2015 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Camels carry Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, but little is known about infection age or prevalence. We studied >800 dromedaries of all ages and 15 mother–calf pairs. This syndrome constitutes an acute, epidemic, and time-limited infection in camels <4 years of age, particularly calves. Delayed social separation of calves might reduce human infection risk.
