Document: As a result of the lower respiratory tract tropism, close contact between individuals is necessary to transmit MERS-CoV between humans. Healthcare workers and family members are therefore at particular risk to acquire secondary MERS-infections [5, 36] , as reflected by the MERS outbreaks which mostly occur in the healthcare centers [44, 45] . Other groups that are at risk for MERS-CoV infection are slaughterhouse workers and camel shepherds. In cohort studies in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, these groups with camel contact were reported to have a higher percentage of MERS-CoV seropositivity as compared to the general population [15, 46] . The fact that camel-farm-related outbreaks are generally less common compared to health-care-related outbreaks may also be helpful in containing the outbreak [47, 48] .
