從中東呼吸道症候群冠狀病毒確診病例的駱駝穀倉空氣採樣，檢測出中東呼吸綜合症候群冠狀病毒的RNA基因組

從中東呼吸道症候群冠狀病毒確診病例的駱駝穀倉空氣採樣，檢測出中東呼吸綜合症候群冠狀病毒的RNA基因組Detection of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Genome in an Air Sample Originating from a Camel Barn Owned by an Infected Patient

在這裡，我們擴展了從中東呼吸道症候群冠狀病毒確診病例所圈養感染病毒駱駝的穀倉空氣採樣，檢測出相同的中東呼吸道症候群冠狀病毒RNA基因片段。Here, we extend this work and show that identical MERS-CoV RNA fragments were detected in an air sample collected from the same barn that sheltered the infected camel in our previous study.這些數據顯示，該病毒是在確診病例和其所圈養感染病毒駱駝的農場流通散播，這需要進一步的調查求證『中東呼吸道症候群冠狀病毒是否可能經空氣傳染？』

These data indicate that the virus was circulating in this farm concurrently with its detection in the camel and in the patient, which warrants further investigations for the possible airborne transmission of MERS-CoV.
