    Snippet: The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is one of the newly identified viral infections affecting humans. It was recently reported in the Arabian Peninsula (AP), particularly Saudi Arabia. The virus primarily causes respiratory failure in affected patients, but can also sometimes cause renal failure.

    Document: The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is one of the newly identified viral infections affecting humans. It was recently reported in the Arabian Peninsula (AP), particularly Saudi Arabia. The virus primarily causes respiratory failure in affected patients, but can also sometimes cause renal failure. The main reservoir of this virus is dromedary camels. Although a lot is known about the diseases pattern, pathogenesis, and immunity of MERS-CoV infection in humans, very little is known about these parameters in camels. The main goals of this book chapter are to discuss the current understandings about MERS-CoV infection in animals, particularly the dromedary camels. Special attention should be paid to the clinical pattern of MERS-CoV infection in animals, including clinical signs, pathological changes during virus infection, various methods of clinical and laboratory diagnosis, and the recent advances related to the control of MERS-CoV.
