严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒(SARS-CoV)和中东综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)的出现引起了人们对它们对全球卫生安全的潜在威胁的广泛恐惧和担忧。这两种疾病在流行病学和临床特征上既有相似之处，也有不同之处。SARS-COV和MERS-CoV的起源被认为是动物来源，随后传播给人类。确定MERS冠状病毒的中间宿主和确切传播途径，对于随后防止该病毒传入人类人群至关重要。到目前为止，中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒导致了有限的与旅行有关的人间病例，没有发生与朝圣有关的重大事件。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and of the Middle East Syndrome Cornavirus (MERS-CoV) caused widespread fear and concern for their potential threat to global health security. There are similarities and differences in the epidemiology and clinical features between these two diseases. The origin of SARS-COV and MERS-CoV is thought to be an animal source with subsequent transmission to humans. The identification of both the intermediate host and the exact route of transmission of MERS-CoV is crucial for the subsequent prevention of the introduction of the virus into the human population. So far MERS-CoV had resulted in a limited travel-associated human cases with no major events related to the Hajj. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
