Fraction of the sequenced Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) genome obtained as a function of MERS-CoV load. Samples were stratified by clinical sample type and the fraction of MERS-CoV genome obtained by deep sequencing was plotted as a function of the MERS-CoV load (presented in terms of the threshold cycle [Ct] value). Data are for 110 specimens collected through 14 November 2014. Tracheal aspirates (TAs) are indicated by red circles, nasopharyngeal swab samples (NPs) are indicated with black Xs, sputum samples are indicated with gray circles, bronchoalveolar lavage samples (BAL) are indicated with green circles, and samples with an unknown type (n = 2) are indicated with black crosses.
