title = "Extended Viral Shedding of MERS-CoV Clade B Virus in Llamas Compared with African Clade C Strain",
abstract = "Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) clade B viruses are found in camelids and humans in the Middle East, but clade C viruses are not. We provide experimental evidence for extended shedding of MERS-CoV clade B viruses in llamas, which might explain why they outcompete clade C strains in the Arabian Peninsula.",
