Bart L. Haagmans,Said H.S. Al Dhahiry,Chantal B.E.M. Reusken,V. Stalin Raj,Monica Galiano,Richard M. Myers,Gert Jan Godeke,Marcel Jonges,Elmoubasher Farag,Ayman Diab,Hazem Ghobashy,Farhoud Alhajri,Mohamed H. Al-Thani,Salih A. Al-Marri,Hamad Eid Al Romaihi,Abdullatif Al Khal,Alison Bermingham,Albert D. M. E. Osterhaus,Mohd M. AlHajri,Marion Koopmans +19 more
TL;DR: This study provides virological confirmation of MERS-CoV in camels and suggests a recent outbreak affecting both human beings and camels.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The full genome of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was obtained from a camel in Qatar and efficiently replicated in human cells, providing further evidence for the zoonotic potential of MERS- CoV from camels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) RNA and neutralising antibodies in milk collected according to local customs from dromedary camels, Qatar, April 2014.
Chantal B.E.M. Reusken,Elmoubasher Farag,Marcel Jonges,Gert-Jan Godeke,Ahmed M. El-Sayed,Suzan D. Pas,V. S. Raj,Khaled A. Mohran,H A Moussa,Hazem Ghobashy,Farhoud Alhajri,A K Ibrahim,A K Ibrahim,Berend Jan Bosch,S K Pasha,Hamad Al-Romaihi,Mohammed Al-Thani,Salih A. Al-Marri,Mohd M. AlHajri,Bart L. Haagmans,Marion Koopmans +20 more
TL;DR: The presence of MERS-CoV RNA in milk of camels actively shedding the virus warrants measures to prevent putative food-borne transmission of the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunogenicity of an adenoviral-based Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus vaccine in BALB/c mice
Eun Kim,Kaori Okada,Tom Kenniston,V. Stalin Raj,Mohd M. AlHajri,Elmoubasher Farag,Farhoud Alhajri,Albert D. M. E. Osterhaus,Bart L. Haagmans,Andrea Gambotto +9 more
TL;DR: Results show that an adenoviral-based vaccine can induce MERS-CoV-specific immune responses in mice and hold promise for the development of a preventive vaccine that targets the animal reservoir, which might be an effective measure to eliminate transmission of MERS -CoV to humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
High proportion of MERS-CoV shedding dromedaries at slaughterhouse with a potential epidemiological link to human cases, Qatar 2014
Elmoubasher Farag,Chantal Reusken,Bart L. Haagmans,Khaled A. Mohran,V. Stalin Raj,Suzan D. Pas,Jolanda J.C. Voermans,Saskia L. Smits,Gert-Jan Godeke,Mohd M. AlHajri,Farhoud Alhajri,Hamad Al-Romaihi,Hazem Ghobashy,Mamdouh M. El-Maghraby,Ahmed M. El-Sayed,Mohamed H. Al Thani,Salih A. Al-Marri,Marion Koopmans +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a high proportion of camels presenting for slaughter in Qatar show evidence for nasal MERS-CoV shedding, and sequence analysis showed the circulation of at least five different virus strains at these premises, suggesting that this location is a driver of MSPS circulation and a high-risk area for human exposure.
