Analysis of the metagenomic assembled genome of MERS-CoV and Alpha-CoV from Camelus dromedarius in Saudi Arabia
Overall, respiratory viruses belonging to alpha and beta coronaviruses, notably MERS-CoV, recognized by the World Health Organization as an emerging infectious disease of critical concern, were observed in dromedary camels from African origins, potentially posing a risk of transmission to humans.
