Novel Coronavirus - Saudi Arabia (MERS)
The virus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) has been found in bats in Saudi Arabia, suggesting a potential origin for the disease, according to a new study.
Researchers tested samples from bats living about 7 miles away from the home of the first person known to be infected with MERS in Saudi Arabia.
A virus found in one of the bats was 100 percent identical to the MERS virus seen in people, the researchers said.
