less than a year in the UK discovered a new strain of coronavirus, very similar to that caused SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), without scientists figure out how consiguieran had mutated to jump to humans . The so-called MERS-CoV (coronavirus respiratory syndrome in the Middle East), originally from the Arabian peninsula, has so far been detected in a hundred people and caused more than 40 deaths. A study published Friday in The Lancet Infectious Diseases could clarify the origin of transfer: when analyzing blood samples of Omani camels, animals are widespread in the area of ??the outbreak of the infection, scientists have discovered the presence of antibodies against MERS.
The dromedary is a very popular species in the Middle East, where it is used to move, but also consumed their flesh and milk “
Recent research revealed that the new coronavirus could replicate in the cells of the bat, but scientists were skeptical about the possibility that this animal was responsible for transmission because of its secretive nature and lack of proximity to the humans. An international team of National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (Netherlands) has collected and analyzed 349 blood samples from different animal species, camels, cows, sheep and goats, among others, from various countries -Chile, Spain, the Netherlands and Oman, with the aim of identifying the head of contagion.
