Title: Asymptomatic Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection in rabbits. Cord-id: jgyh3e41 Document date: 2015_1_1
ID: jgyh3e41
Snippet: The ability of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) to infect small animal species may be restricted given the fact that mice, ferrets, and hamsters were shown to resist MERS-CoV infection. We inoculated rabbits with MERS-CoV. Although virus was detected in the lungs, neither significant histopathological changes nor clinical symptoms were observed. Infectious virus, however, was excreted from the upper respiratory tract, indicating a potential route of MERS-CoV transmission i
