Tracy Vence from The Scientist provides a nice review of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).
EXCERPT
In the time since the first reported death last June, scientists have generated complete genome sequences for the novel CoV and resolved the crystal structure of its receptor-binding domain. Using advanced epidemiological and genomic surveillance techniques, they've even pinpointed a suspected source of the infectious agent – bats – and are gradually piecing together how it might be transmitted from the winged mammals to humans. Still, for all that's now known about the MERS-CoV, there's much more left to learn.
