Investigations into the origin of MERS-CoV have focused on two potential reservoirs: bats and camels. Here, we investigated the role of bats as a potential reservoir for MERS-CoV. <italic>In vitro</italic>, the MERS-CoV spike glycoprotein interacted with Jamaican fruit bat (<italic>Artibeus jamaicensis</italic>) dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) receptor and MERS-CoV replicated efficiently in Jamaican fruit bat cells, suggesting there is no restriction at the receptor or cellular level for MERS-CoV. To shed light on the intrinsic host-virus relationship, we inoculated 10 Jamaican fruit bats with MERS-CoV. Although all bats showed evidence of infection, none of the bats showed clinical signs of disease. Virus shedding was detected in the respiratory and intestinal tract for up to 9 days. MERS-CoV replicated transiently in the respiratory and, to a lesser extent, the intestinal tracts and internal organs; with limited histopathological changes observed only in the lungs. Analysis of the <italic>innate</italic> gene expression in the lungs showed a moderate, transient induction of expression. Our results indicate that MERS-CoV maintains the ability to replicate in bats without clinical signs of disease, supporting the general hypothesis of bats as ancestral reservoirs for MERS-CoV.</p><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1038/srep21878) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized

Investigations into the origin of MERS-CoV have focused on two potential reservoirs: bats and camels. Here, we investigated the role of bats as a potential reservoir for MERS-CoV. <italic>In vitro</italic>, the MERS-CoV spike glycoprotein interacted with Jamaican fruit bat (<italic>Artibeus jamaicensis</italic>) dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) receptor and MERS-CoV replicated efficiently in Jamaican fruit bat cells, suggesting there is no restriction at the receptor or cellular level for MERS-CoV. To shed light on the intrinsic host-virus relationship, we inoculated 10 Jamaican fruit bats with MERS-CoV. Although all bats showed evidence of infection, none of the bats showed clinical signs of disease. Virus shedding was detected in the respiratory and intestinal tract for up to 9 days. MERS-CoV replicated transiently in the respiratory and, to a lesser extent, the intestinal tracts and internal organs; with limited histopathological changes observed only in the lungs. Analysis of the <italic>innate</italic> gene expression in the lungs showed a moderate, transient induction of expression. Our results indicate that MERS-CoV maintains the ability to replicate in bats without clinical signs of disease, supporting the general hypothesis of bats as ancestral reservoirs for MERS-CoV.</p><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1038/srep21878) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.</p></sec></abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="npg-subject"><title>Subject terms</title><kwd>SARS virus</kwd><kwd>Viral reservoirs</kwd></kwd-group><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© The Author(s) 2016</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1"><title>Introduction</title><p>In 2012 a novel coronavirus, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), was isolated from a patient with a fatal case of pneumonia and renal failure in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref></sup>.

A variety of closely related coronavirus sequences have been obtained from numerous bat species in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Eurasia<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref></sup>, suggesting widespread distribution of MERS-CoV related viruses among bat species belonging to the order Chiroptera. A 190 nucleotide RNA fragment with 100% match to the RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of MERS-CoV was detected in a fecal sample of an Egyptian tomb bat (<italic>Taphozous perforates</italic>) roosting in the vicinity of a MERS-CoV index case in Bisha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref></sup>. In addition, the detection of MERS-CoV-specific antibodies in dromedary camels in the Middle East and northern and eastern Africa suggest the widespread circulation of MERS-CoV-like viruses in dromedary camels<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref></sup>.

Together, these data suggest that rather than direct zoonotic transmission from a bat reservoir, dromedary camels are involved as the primary reservoir host for MERS-CoV.

Despite the increase in genetic data on coronavirus diversity in their natural reservoirs, only very limited data are available on the impact of these viruses on the reservoir host and controlled infection experiments with coronaviruses in their reservoir hosts have not been performed. To understand the drivers of MERS-CoV emergence, a more comprehensive understanding of the interaction between the virus and its natural and intermediate reservoir hosts is needed.

The wide diversity of coronaviruses detected in bats, combined with their ability to support efficient replication of MERS-CoV, the availability of an annotated transcriptome<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">45</xref></sup> and the relative easy housing and husbandry practices of Jamaican fruit bats suggest that this bat species can become an important model system to investigate the relationship between coronaviruses and their bat hosts<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">46</xref></sup>. Although the Jamaican fruit bat is not the direct ancestral reservoir for MERS-CoV, as it is a new world bat species, generalized responses towards viruses of bat-origin rather than a direct host-pathogen relationships can be modelled.</p><p>The ability of MERS-CoV to use DPP4 of multiple species as a receptor, including DPP4 of human, dromedary camel and bat origin<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR47">47</xref></sup>, suggests that no prior adaptation was needed on the DPP4 receptor level for cross-species and zoonotic transmission to occur. With batCoV-HKU4, a closely related coronavirus, it was shown that replication in human cells required two mutations in the spike protein<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR48">48</xref></sup>. These amino acid residues, which are conserved in MERS-CoV, results in the activation of the batCoV-HKU4 spike protein by human cellular proteases. This suggests that batCoV-HKU4 needs these residues for replication in humans. Interestingly, our data show that MERS-CoV replicates efficiently in Jamaican fruit bat cells, suggesting that the MERS-CoV spike can efficiently be processed by Jamaican fruit bat cellular proteases and that there is no host restriction on the post-translational modification level of the MERS-CoV spike in dromedary camels, humans and bats.</p><p>Bat coronaviruses have been primarily detected in fecal samples in field studies suggesting that these viruses have a intestinal tract tropism<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">43</xref></sup>. MERS-CoV was able to replicate to higher titers in the respiratory tract in comparison with the intestinal tract of the Jamaican fruit bats. The tissue tropism of MERS-CoV in Jamaican fruit bats is comparable to the respiratory tract tropism observed in dromedary camels and humans<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR49">49</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR50">50</xref></sup>. This might suggest that MERS-CoV, upon cross-species transmission from bats into dromedary camels evolved from a gastrointestinal tract virus into a respiratory tract virus, similar to influenza A viruses<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR51">51</xref></sup>.</p><p>The ability for MERS-CoV to antagonize the innate immune response appears to correlate with its pathogenic potential in humans. MERS-CoV and related batCoV-HKU4 can inhibit innate immune signaling in a variety of human cell lines <italic>in vitro</italic> via the ORF4b-encoded accessory proteins<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR52">52</xref></sup>. The ability of MERS-CoV and batCoV-HKU4 to evade this innate immune sensing must have evolved in the reservoir bat host and may therefore have benefitted the virus by limiting the bat immune response without negatively impacting the population level of the bat host. The modest, transient upregulation of <italic>Mx1, ISG56 and RANTES</italic> observed in Jamaican fruit bats may permit MERS-CoV replication without causing clinical signs. The transient nature of the MERS-CoV infection suggests that the virus is cleared by immune mechanisms, but the isolation of MERS-CoV in the duodenum of bat 10 at 28 dpi indicates that the virus might persist at low levels for a longer period of time. The limited seroconversion observed in the Jamaican fruit bats suggest that the immunogenicity of the MERS-CoV proteins in the context of experimental infection in bats in absence of clinical signs is very low. In humans seroconversion was observed in clinically ill patients between 21 and 28 days after infection with MERS-CoV with titers between 80 and 320<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR53">53</xref></sup>. Limited seroprevalance was observed in healthy people with a high occupational risk for MERS-CoV exposure (shepherds and slaughterhouse workers), combined with the extensive circulation of MERS-CoV in dromedary camels this suggests that unrecognized infections that cause no or mild symptoms might result in no to limited seroconversion<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR54">54</xref></sup>.</p><p>Although of considerable interest, the number of experimental infection studies in bats are limited. Experimental bat infection studies have been performed with coronavirus bat intestine samples derived from field studies<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref></sup>, Nipah virus and Hendra virus<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR55">55</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR56">56</xref></sup>, Tacaribe virus<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR57">57</xref></sup>, Ebola virus and Marburg virus<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR58">58</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR59">59</xref></sup> and the majority of experimental infection studies have been performed with Lyssaviruses<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR60">60</xref></sup>. In these studies replication, shedding, morbidity and mortality varied greatly. Severe morbidity and mortality were observed after inoculation of Jamaican fruit bats with Tacaribe virus and rabies virus<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR57">57</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR61">61</xref></sup>; Jamaican fruit bats are the presumed host reservoir for both viruses. After oral inoculation of Leschenault’s Rousette bats (<italic>Rousettus leschenaulti)</italic> with homogenates of intestinal tract samples obtained from bats caught during field studies in the Philippines and positive by PCR for a group 2 <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic> (closely related to MERS-CoV) no clinical signs were observed, but replication and limited virus shedding were observed in and from the intestinal tract<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref></sup>. Our experimental infection data show that MERS-CoV maintains the ability to efficiently replicate in a bat host. In our bat infection model all Jamaican fruit bats became infected with MERS-CoV in the absence of clinical signs. This supports the hypothesis that bats are the ancestral reservoir for MERS-CoV. In addition, it highlights the host-range plasticity of MERS-CoV and potentially of those of highly related coronaviruses circulating in bat population.</p></sec><sec id="Sec10"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec id="Sec11"><title>Ethics Statement</title><p>All animal experiments were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Colorado State University and performed following the guidelines of the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care, International (AAALAC) in an AAALAC-approved facility.
