Figure 2.

Summary of cases sequenced from the UAE 2013–2014 clusters. Each Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS‐CoV) genome sequenced from the UAE clusters is shown as a circle. Filled circles represent those human samples where full MERS‐CoV genome sequence was obtained, stripe‐filled circles represent where only S and N gene sequences were obtained. Triangles represent associated MERS cases where no sequence was obtained. Cases are plotted along a timeline corresponding with the index case infection date, and those associated with frequent exposure to camels are in the shaded region. Camels that were directly implicated in a cluster are connected by a solid arrow. Human cases where the sequence indicates that there is significant similarity to a camel are connected by a dashed arrow. [Colour figure can be viewed at http://wileyonlinelibrary.com]
