    Snippet: Coronaviruses that are closely related to SARS-CoV are typically found in bats (Li et al. 2005) . There is evidence that SARS-CoV originated in bats in China and reached humans most probably after jumping to an intermediate host, the civet (Paguma larvata) (reviewed by Wang and Eaton 2007) . Similarly, MERS-CoV is endemic in dromedary camels in the Middle East, from which it can be transmitted to humans, but it may also have originated in bats (C.....
    Document: Coronaviruses that are closely related to SARS-CoV are typically found in bats (Li et al. 2005) . There is evidence that SARS-CoV originated in bats in China and reached humans most probably after jumping to an intermediate host, the civet (Paguma larvata) (reviewed by Wang and Eaton 2007) . Similarly, MERS-CoV is endemic in dromedary camels in the Middle East, from which it can be transmitted to humans, but it may also have originated in bats (Cui et al. 2019) . The MERS epidemic is ongoing, and as of December 2019, 2468 cases have been reported (Baharoon and Memish 2019) and the mortality rate has been as high as 42% (Mohd et al. 2016) . At the other end of the virulence spectrum are coronavirus species that cause common colds in humans with relatively mild symptoms (reviewed by Su et al. 2016) .
