    Snippet: Since the first report of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection in September 2012, more than 1,300 cases have been laboratory-confirmed worldwide as of July 10th, 2015. However, sustained human-to-human transmission is unlikely to occur in community setting. R 0 for MERS-CoV is generally estimated to be less than 0.7 [1] . In comparison, hospital-associated outbreaks were reported in Middle East Asia [2, 3] . Similarly.....
    Document: Since the first report of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection in September 2012, more than 1,300 cases have been laboratory-confirmed worldwide as of July 10th, 2015. However, sustained human-to-human transmission is unlikely to occur in community setting. R 0 for MERS-CoV is generally estimated to be less than 0.7 [1] . In comparison, hospital-associated outbreaks were reported in Middle East Asia [2, 3] . Similarly in the Republic of Korea (ROK), most MERS cases were linked to hospitals [4] . It is still unclear why MERS-CoV spreads easily among patients in hospital setting. Healthcare worker-mediated transmission and environmental contamination might play an important role in the development of hospital-associated outbreak. To better understand the hospital-based transmission, we investigated the duration of viral shedding and environmental contamination in two cases with laboratory-confirmed MERS-CoV infection. Viral loads were presumed through the threshold cycle (Ct) values from real-time RT-PCR.
