Abstract
As a World Health Organization Research and Development Blueprint priority pathogen, there is a need to better understand the geographic distribution of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and its potential to infect mammals and humans. This database documents cases of MERS-CoV globally, with specific attention paid to zoonotic transmission. An initial literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus; after screening articles according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, a total of 208 sources were selected for extraction and geo-positioning. Each MERS-CoV occurrence was assigned one of the following classifications based upon published contextual information: index, unspecified, secondary, mammal, environmental, or imported. In total, this database is comprised of 861 unique geo-positioned MERS-CoV occurrences. The purpose of this article is to share a collated MERS-CoV database and extraction protocol that can be utilized in future mapping efforts for both MERS-CoV and other infectious diseases. More broadly, it may also provide useful data for the development of targeted MERS-CoV surveillance, which would prove invaluable in preventing future zoonotic spillover.

This database documents cases of MERS-CoV globally, with specific attention paid to zoonotic transmission. An initial literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus; after screening articles according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, a total of 208 sources were selected for extraction and geo-positioning. Each MERS-CoV occurrence was assigned one of the following classifications based upon published contextual information: index, unspecified, secondary, mammal, environmental, or imported. In total, this database is comprised of 861 unique geo-positioned MERS-CoV occurrences. The purpose of this article is to share a collated MERS-CoV database and extraction protocol that can be utilized in future mapping efforts for both MERS-CoV and other infectious diseases. More broadly, it may also provide useful data for the development of targeted MERS-CoV surveillance, which would prove invaluable in preventing future zoonotic spillover.</p></abstract><abstract id="Abs2" abstract-type="summary"><p id="Par2"><table-wrap id="Taba"><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><tbody><tr><td>Measurement(s)</td><td>Middle East Respiratory Syndrome • geographic location</td></tr><tr><td>Technology Type(s)</td><td>digital curation</td></tr><tr><td>Factor Type(s)</td><td>geographic distribution of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) • year</td></tr><tr><td>Sample Characteristic - Organism</td><td>Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus</td></tr><tr><td>Sample Characteristic - Location</td><td>Earth (planet)</td></tr></tbody></table></table-wrap></p><p id="Par3">Machine-accessible metadata file describing the reported data: 10.6084/m9.figshare.11108801</p></abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="npg-subject"><title>Subject terms</title><kwd>Research data</kwd><kwd>Diseases</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution-id institution-id-type="FundRef">https://doi.org/10.13039/100000865</institution-id><institution>Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation)</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>OPP1181128</award-id><award-id>OPP1181128</award-id><award-id>OPP1181128</award-id><award-id>OPP1181128</award-id><award-id>OPP1132415</award-id><award-id>OPP1181128</award-id><principal-award-recipient><name><surname>Letourneau</surname><given-names>Ian D.</given-names></name><name><surname>Hong</surname><given-names>Amy Y.</given-names></name><name><surname>Hon</surname><given-names>Julia</given-names></name><name><surname>Shirude</surname><given-names>Shreya</given-names></name><name><surname>Hay</surname><given-names>Simon I.</given-names></name><name><surname>Pigott</surname><given-names>David M.</given-names></name></principal-award-recipient></award-group></funding-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution>Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation)</institution></funding-source></award-group></funding-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution>Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation)</institution></funding-source></award-group></funding-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution>Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation)</institution></funding-source></award-group></funding-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution>Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation)</institution></funding-source></award-group></funding-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution>Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation)</institution></funding-source></award-group></funding-group><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© The Author(s) 2019</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1"><title>Background & Summary</title><p id="Par4">Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) emerged as a global health concern in 2012 when the first human case was documented in Saudi Arabia<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref></sup>. Now listed as one of the WHO Research and Development Blueprint priority pathogens, cases have been reported in 27 countries across four continents<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref></sup>. Imported cases into non-endemic countries such as France, Great Britain, the United States, and South Korea have caused secondary cases<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref></sup>, thus highlighting the potential for MERS-CoV to spread far beyond the countries where index cases originate. Reports in animals suggest that viral circulation could be far more widespread than suggested by human cases alone<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref></sup>.</p><p id="Par5">To help prevent future incidence of MERS-CoV, public health officials can focus on mitigating zoonotic transfer; however, in order to do this effectively, additional research is needed to determine where spillover could occur between mammals and humans. Previous literature reviews have looked at healthcare-associated outbreaks<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref></sup>, importation events resulting in secondary cases<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref></sup>, occurrences among dromedary camels<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref></sup>, or to summarize current knowledge and knowledge gaps of MERS-CoV<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref></sup>. This database seeks fill gaps in literature and build upon existing notification data by enhancing the geographic resolution of MERS-CoV data and providing occurrences of both mammal and environmental detections in addition to human cases. This information can help inform epidemiological models and targeted disease surveillance, both of which play important roles in strengthening global health security. Knowledge of the geographic extent of disease transmission allows stakeholders to develop appropriate emergency response and preparedness activities (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://www.jeealliance.org/global-health-security-and-ihr-implementation/joint-external-evaluation-jee/">https://www.jeealliance.org/global-health-security-and-ihr-implementation/joint-external-evaluation-jee/</ext-link>), inform policy for livestock trade and quarantine, determine appropriate demand for future vaccines (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://cepi.net/mission">http://cepi.net/mission</ext-link>) and decide where to deliver them. Additionally, targeted disease surveillance will provide healthcare workers with updated lists of at-risk countries. Patients with a history of travel to affected regions could then be rapidly isolated and treated, thus reducing risk of nosocomial transmission.</p><p id="Par6">This database is comprised of 861 unique geo-positioned MERS-CoV occurrences extracted from reports published between October 2012 and February 2018.

The initial search was for all articles published about MERS-CoV prior to April 30, 2017, and was subsequently updated to February 22, 2018. These searches were conducted through the University of Washington Libraries’ institutional database subscriptions. We searched the Web of Science Web of Science Core Collection (the subscribed edition includes Science Citation Index Expanded, 1900-present; Social Sciences Citation Index, 1975-present; Arts & Humanities Citation Index, 1975-present; Emerging Sources Citation Index, 2015-present). We searched the standard Scopus database and the standard, freely available PubMed database; these products have a single version that is consistent across institutional subscriptions or access points.</p><p id="Par9">In total, this search returned 7,301 related abstracts, which were collated into a database before a title-abstract screening was manually conducted (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>.

To meet the inclusion criteria, articles must have contained both of the following items: 1) a detection of MERS-CoV from humans, animals, or environmental sources, and 2) MERS-CoV occurrences tagged with spatial information. Additionally, extractors attempted to prospectively manually remove articles containing duplicate occurrences that were already extracted in the dataset. Extractors only prospectively manually removed articles if it was clear the articles contained data we were confident had already been extracted and had high-quality data. We excluded 885 sources based on full text review. In addition, we reviewed citations and retroactively added relevant articles to our database if they were not already included. We retroactively added and subsequently marked ten articles for extraction using this process. In total, we extracted 208 peer-reviewed sources reporting detection of MERS-CoV that included geographic and relevant epidemiological metadata.</p></sec><sec id="Sec4"><title>Geo-positioning of data</title><p id="Par11">Google Maps or ArcGIS<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref></sup> was used to manually extract location information at the highest resolution available from individual articles. We evaluated spatial information as either points or polygons. The geography was defined as a point if the location of transmission was reported to have occurred within a 5 × 5 km area. Point data are represented by a specific latitude and longitude. A point references an area smaller than 5 × 5 km in order to be compatible with the typical 5 × 5 km resolution of satellite imagery used for global analyses.</p><p id="Par12">The geography was defined as a polygon if the location of transmission was less clear, but known to have occurred in a general area (e.g. a province), or the location of transmission occurred within an area greater than 5 × 5 km (e.g. a large city). We used contextual information to determine location in instances where the author’s spelling of a location differed from Google Maps or ArcGIS. Maps provided by authors were digitized using ArcGIS.</p><p id="Par13">We used three different types of polygons: known administrative boundaries, buffers, and custom polygons. Relevant administrative units were sourced from the Global Administrative Unit Layers curated by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the UN<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref></sup> for known administrative boundaries of governorates, districts, or regions, and paired with the occurrence record. Buffers were created to encompass areas in cities and regions without corresponding administrative units. To ensure that buffers encompassed the entirety of the area of interest, Google Maps was used to determine the required radius. In areas with unspecified boundaries (e.g. Table Mountain National Park and the border region between Saudi Arabia and UAE) ArcGIS was used to generate custom polygons, which were assigned a unique code within a defined shapefile for ease of re-identification.</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec5"><title>Data Records</title><p id="Par14">This database is publicly available online<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref></sup>.

Challenging extractions from the updated search (May 1, 2017 to February 22, 2018) were selected for group review during bi-weekly team meetings. Upon extraction completion, all data were checked to ensure they fell on land and within the correct country.</p><p id="Par75">While the protocol implemented above was designed to reduce the amount of subjective decisions made by extractors, total elimination was not possible. Wherever a subjective decision had to be made, the extractor utilized the various notes fields in order to document the logic behind decisions. These decisions were subsequently reviewed by other extractors.</p></sec><sec id="Sec7"><title>Usage Notes</title><p id="Par76">The techniques described here can be applied to collect and curate datasets for other infectious diseases, as has been previously demonstrated with dengue<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref></sup> and leishmaniasis<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref></sup>. Additionally, since these data were collected independently through published reports of MERS-CoV occurrence, they may be used to build upon existing notification data<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref></sup>. Our ability to capture occurrences in this dataset is contingent on the data contained within published literature. Therefore, this dataset does not represent a total count of all cases. Instead, this dataset’s value lies within its geo-precision. Data were extracted with a focus on obtaining the highest resolution possible. These data may be merged with other datasets, such as WHO<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref></sup> or OIE<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref></sup> surveillance records, and are intended to complement, not replace, these resources. Together, published reports and notification data can provide a more comprehensive snapshot of current disease extent and at-risk locations.</p><p id="Par77">An important consideration, whether using the literature data alone, or in combination with other databases, is the potential for duplication. Various pieces of metadata can be used to evaluate where potential duplicates could lie, such as common date fields (month_start, month_end, year_start, year_end) or consistent geographic details (lat, long, poly_id, shape_type) or shared epidemiological tags (patient_type). Researchers may wish to consider further steps, such as fuzzy matching of geographic data (e.g. matching a point with an overlapping buffer) or temporal data (e.g. matching a precise month with an overlapping month interval). We acknowledge this duplicate-removal process will not catch all matching records, but it will likely catch several. We recommend this approach because it will allow researchers to remove several duplicates without erroneously deleting any two occurrences that are truly unique (i.e. not duplicates). Essentially, we recommend a sensitive approach above a more specific approach, as the latter simply risks culling too many records that aren’t actually duplicates.</p><p id="Par78">When merging with other databases, consistency in metadata tagging is essential. For the WHO Disease Outbreak News data feed<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref></sup> for instance, nomenclature for case definitions is slightly different, with WHO definitions of “Community Acquired” and “Not Reported” comparable to “Index” and “Unspecified” respectively. In addition, it is important to recognize what information is beyond the scope of these additional databases. Again, when comparing to the WHO dataset, it is important to recognize that serologically positive cases do not meet the case definition used in the WHO database. These adjustments need to be identified on a dataset-to-dataset basis.</p><p id="Par79">This database can be combined with other covariates (e.g. satellite imagery) to produce environmental suitability models of MERS-CoV infection risk and potential spillover on both global and regional scales as achieved with other exemplar datasets<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref></sup>. This information can be useful in resource allocation aimed at improving disease surveillance and contribute towards a better understanding of the factors facilitating continued emergence of index cases.</p><p id="Par80">The addition of sampling techniques and prevalence data may improve this dataset. Researchers were ultimately unable to add these data due to inconsistencies in the way literature reported sampling techniques and prevalence date by geography. An attempt to extract these data using the current approach would have led to sporadic inclusion of this information and would not have been comprehensive for the entire dataset. Moving forward, we recommend authors report sampling technique and prevalence data at the highest resolution geography possible, as seen in Miguel <italic>et al</italic>.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref></sup>. We encourage continued presentation of paired epidemiological and geographic metadata that would allow for more detailed analysis in the future.</p><p id="Par81">This database may also be utilized in clinical settings to provide an evidence-base for diagnoses when used in conjunction with patient travel histories. Additionally, it can be used to identify geographies for surveillance, particularly areas where MERS-CoV has been documented in animals but not humans (e.g. Ethiopia and Nigeria). Identifying locations for surveillance will, in turn, inform global health security. While models will increase the resolution at which these questions can be addressed, datasets such as this provide an initial baseline.</p><p id="Par82">A major limitation of this database is the potential for sampling bias, which stems from higher frequency of disease reporting within countries where there exists strong healthcare infrastructure and reporting systems. This database does not attempt to account for such biases, which must be addressed in subsequent modelling activities where such biases are of consequence. Similarly, another limitation is potential duplicate documentation of singular occurrences. This can happen when the same occurrence is assigned different geographies (e.g. point, polygon) in multiple publications. Even though extractors made efforts to prospectively manually identify duplicate occurrences, this was challenging because the process relied upon papers providing sufficient details for extractors to determine a duplicate occurrence (e.g. geography, patient demographics, dates of occurrence, diagnostic methods, etc.). However, the majority of papers did not report such details for each occurrence. In those instances, it was impossible for extractors to discern whether occurrences may have been duplicates from a previous artic le. Even case studies inconsistently reported patient details and demographic information. These are some examples of challenges faced by extractors when we attempted to identify duplicates. Without sufficient contextual clues, extractors lacked evidence to determine duplicity and thus likely extracted some unique occurrences more than once. Despite efforts to remove duplicate occurrences from the database, it is possible that some remain.</p><p id="Par83">Geographic uncertainty is similarly problematic for analyses such as this. In some cases, polygons, as opposed to points, are utilised as a geographic frame of reference, reflecting the uncertainty in geotagging in the articles themselves. For some occurrences, there is a strong assumption that the geography listed corresponds to the site of infection. While the use of 5 km × 5 km as the minimum geographical unit allows for some leeway in this precision, it is possible that even with the point data (often corresponding to household clusters) these may not map directly with true infection sites. This must be considered in any subsequent geospatial analysis.</p><p id="Par84">Finally, this database represents a time-bounded survey of the literature. While all efforts were made to be comprehensive within this period, articles, and therefore data, will continue to be published. Efforts to streamline ongoing collection processes are still to be fully realized<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref></sup>. Regardless, we hope that this dataset provides a solid baseline for further iteration.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><sec id="Sec9"><title>Supplementary
