Why is it important?
Since mers has the potential to cause large scale outbreaks among human, it is important to understand its persistence among camels.
Perspectives
This work helped us gain a better understanding on the spread of mers among camels, and yielded crucial parameter estimates and laid the ground for design of control strategies.
