What is it about?
Previous studies have attributed increases in MERS-CoV cases to camel breeding season; this literature review and analysis found no evidence of seasonality. This analysis investigated increases in MERS-CoV transmission and reports of household and nosocomial clusters. A total of 51 clusters were identified, most of which were nosocomial in nature and occurred in KSA.
