Replicative virus shedding in the respiratory tract of patients with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection
Background: Information on the duration of HERBATINT 8N replicative Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) shedding is important for infection control.The detection of MERS-CoV sub-genomic mRNAs indicates that the virus is replicative.This study examined the duration for detecting MERS-CoV sub-genomic mRNA compared with genomic RNA
