    Snippet: world (e.g., Kazakhstan) (23) suggest that MERS-CoV has not been endemic in dromedary camels for very long. However, the presence of antibodies to a MERS-CoV-like coronavirus in dromedary sera from Africa and the Middle East collected 30 y ago indicates that the virus has been transmitting in camels for at least this period of time (4) . Taken together, these data may suggest that dromedaries, although currently the source of zoonotic infection, .....
    Document: world (e.g., Kazakhstan) (23) suggest that MERS-CoV has not been endemic in dromedary camels for very long. However, the presence of antibodies to a MERS-CoV-like coronavirus in dromedary sera from Africa and the Middle East collected 30 y ago indicates that the virus has been transmitting in camels for at least this period of time (4) . Taken together, these data may suggest that dromedaries, although currently the source of zoonotic infection, are themselves a relatively recent host of MERS-CoV and that the virus is still adapting to this species.
