Abstract

Abstract

The middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) causes a severe lower respiratory tract infection in humans with high mortality, it has posed a serious global thereat to the public health. Since its discovery in 2012, MERS-CoV has reached 26 countries, as of 19 February 2016 WHO has been notified of 1 638 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with MERS-CoV, including at least 587 related death. In this review, we highlighted the knowledge on MERS-CoV in general virology and mechanism of pathogeny, and compared MERS-CoV with SARS-CoV on the epidemiology.
