What are Corona viruses?
- CORONA derived from latin word ( means crown or halo) due to short spike like projections.
•single-stranded RNA novel species of the genus Betacoronavirus
•Corona viruses cause colds in humans primarily in the winter and early spring season.
• Corona viruses primarily infect the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tract of mammals and birds.

MERS CoV
• NAMED AS NOVEL CORONA VIRUS OR SAUDI’S SARS LIKE CORONA VIRUS
• - INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE ON TOXONOMY OF VIRUS NAME IT AS MERS CoV

Natural Reservoir
• In septemper 2012 was speculated that thevirus might have originated in bats.
• Recent work links camels to the virus,
• The possibility exists that African orAustralian bats harbor the virus and transmitit to camels.
• Imported camels from these regions mighthave carried the virus to middle east.

How is Novel Coronavirus transmitted?
• on 13 february 2013, WHO stated that “ the risk of sustained person to person transmission appears to be very low”.
•On 29 May 2013, WHO warned that “MERS-COV” is a threat to the entire world, and stated that there is a potential danger in that it is possible for the virus to mutate into a strain that does transmit from person to person.
•The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists MERS as transmissible from human to human.
![Page 9: Mers cov](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020123/559440da1a28abf15b8b4838/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Transmission
• All the clusters of cases seen so farhave been transmitted betweenfamily members or in a health caresetting, the WHO said in an update ,
Human-to-human transmissionoccurred in at least some of theseclusters, however, the exact mode oftransmission is unknown.
•That means it's not yet known howhumans transmit the virus. But,experts say, there has been noevidence of cases beyond the clustersinto communities.
![Page 10: Mers cov](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020123/559440da1a28abf15b8b4838/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
In human , the virus has a strongtropism for non ciliated bronchialepithelial cells, it has been shownto effectively evade the innateimmune response and antagonizeinterferon production in thesecells.
This tropism is unique in thatmost respiratory viruses targetciliated cells.
Tropism
![Page 11: Mers cov](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020123/559440da1a28abf15b8b4838/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Because of the clinical similaritybetween MERS-COV and SARS-COV,it was proposed that they may usethe same cellular receptors , theexopeptidase, angiotensinconverting enzyme 2 (ACE2)
However, it was discovered thatneutralization of ACE-2 receptors byrecombinant antibodies doesn’tprevent MERS-COV infection.
Further research identified Dipeptylpeptidase 4 (DPP4) as a functionalcellular receptor for MERS-COV

• It is not always possible to identify patientswith MERS-CoV early because some have mildor unusual symptoms. For this reason, it isimportant that health-care workers applystandard precautions consistently with allpatients – regardless of their diagnosis – in allwork practices all the time.
![Page 25: Mers cov](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020123/559440da1a28abf15b8b4838/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
precautions• Patient Isolation: in Airborne Infection
Isolation Room (AIIR)
• Droplet precautions should be added to thestandard precautions (hand wash, gloves,gowns)when providing care to all patientswith symptoms of acute respiratory infection.
• Contact precautions and eye protectionshould be added when caring for probable orconfirmed cases of MERS-CoV infection.Airborne precautions should be applied whenperforming aerosol generating procedures.

• CDC does not recommend that travelers change their plans because of MERS. However, the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health has made special recommendations for travelers to Hajj and Umrah. Because of the risk of MERS, Saudi Arabia recommends that the following groups should postpone their plans for Hajj and Umrah this year:
• People over 65 years old
• Children under 12 years old
• Pregnant women
• People with chronic diseases (such as heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, or respiratory disease)
• People with weakened immune systems
• People with cancer or terminal illnesses
![Page 36: Mers cov](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020123/559440da1a28abf15b8b4838/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• How Can Travelers Protect Themselves?
• Taking these everyday actions can help prevent the spread of germs and protect against colds, flu, and other illnesses:
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Avoid close contact with sick people.
• If you are sick:– Cover your mouth with a tissue when you
cough or sneeze, and throw the tissue in the trash.
– Avoid contact with other people to keep from infecting them.

LAST REMINDER,
NO UNNECESSARY PANIC…
•Widespread transmission hasn't been seen
•Always comply with infection control prevention standards
• Underlying health conditions may make you more susceptible
• No travel warnings have been issued
• There are no treatments and no vaccine
