2026-05-26 Molecular Adaptation MERS-CoV replicated efficiently and caused lethal disease in transgenic Syrian hamsters expressing human DPP4, whereas wild-type hamsters are non-susceptible. 42244650
2026-05-26 Host Range Experiment Direct contact transmission of MERS-CoV occurred between hDPP4 transgenic Syrian hamsters, while airborne transmission was not observed. 42244650
2026-04-07 Receptor Usage East African clade C MERS-CoV strains show reduced TMPRSS2-mediated viral entry compared with clade A/B viruses, suggesting altered protease usage mechanisms. 41920873
2026-04-07 Molecular Adaptation East African clade C MERS-CoV camel strains show reduced cleavage at the spike S1/S2 boundary and decreased TMPRSS2-mediated viral entry, indicating molecular adaptation that may limit replication in human cells. 41920873
2026-04-07 Genomic Evolution Sequence variation in the spike gene of East African clade C MERS-CoV relative to clade A/B strains defines reduced TMPRSS2-mediated entry and suggests evolutionary divergence in spike under distinct camel-associated selection pressures. 41920873
