    Snippet: Ten years after the introduction of SARS, yet another novel coronavirus (NCoV, or HCoV-EMC hereafter) jumped from animals to humans (1, 2) . At the time of writing, there are 17 confirmed human cases, including 11 deaths. Recent findings related to this novel virus are alarming. The virus can readily infect cell lines from multiple hosts, including humans, swine, monkeys, and bats, suggesting that it might have a relatively weak species barrier. .....
    Document: Ten years after the introduction of SARS, yet another novel coronavirus (NCoV, or HCoV-EMC hereafter) jumped from animals to humans (1, 2) . At the time of writing, there are 17 confirmed human cases, including 11 deaths. Recent findings related to this novel virus are alarming. The virus can readily infect cell lines from multiple hosts, including humans, swine, monkeys, and bats, suggesting that it might have a relatively weak species barrier. In addition, many of these human cases/clusters are not epidemiologically linked. The first detected case dates back to April 2012 in the Middle East. It is not known whether there is a low level of circulation of this novel coronavirus in asymptomatic human carriers or if there is an animal reservoir that allows for multiple introductions of HCoV-EMC into humans. While the transmission route (or routes) from animals to humans is not yet identified, a recent report of three human cases from a family cluster in the United Kingdom indicates that this virus is transmissible between humans.
