Upon intranasal inoculation with 107 plaque-forming units of MERS-CoV, animals developed a transient, primarily upper respiratory tract infection. Clinical signs of the MERS-CoV infection were benign, but shedding of large quantities of MERS-CoV from the URT was observed. These data are similar to infections reported with dromedary camel infections and indicate that Bactrians are susceptible to MERS-CoV and given their overlapping range are at risk of introduction and establishment of MERS-CoV within the Bactrian camel populations.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Zaki, Am" uniqKey="Zaki A">AM Zaki</name></author><author><name sortKey="Van Boheemen, S" uniqKey="Van Boheemen S">S van Boheemen</name></author><author><name sortKey="Bestebroer, Tm" uniqKey="Bestebroer T">TM Bestebroer</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Azhar, Ei" uniqKey="Azhar E">EI Azhar</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Conzade, R" uniqKey="Conzade R">R Conzade</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Haagmans, Bl" uniqKey="Haagmans B">BL Haagmans</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Hemida, Mg" uniqKey="Hemida M">MG Hemida</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Memish, Za" uniqKey="Memish Z">ZA Memish</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Meyer, B" uniqKey="Meyer B">B Meyer</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Muller, Ma" uniqKey="Muller M">MA Muller</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="De Wit, E" uniqKey="De Wit E">E de Wit</name></author><author><name sortKey="Van Doremalen, N" uniqKey="Van Doremalen N">N van Doremalen</name></author><author><name sortKey="Falzarano, D" uniqKey="Falzarano D">D Falzarano</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Adney, Dr" uniqKey="Adney D">DR Adney</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Khalafalla, Ai" uniqKey="Khalafalla A">AI Khalafalla</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Van Doremalen, N" uniqKey="Van Doremalen N">N van Doremalen</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Adney, Dr" uniqKey="Adney D">DR Adney</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Haagmans, Bl" uniqKey="Haagmans B">BL Haagmans</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Adney, Dr" uniqKey="Adney D">DR Adney</name></author><author><name sortKey="Bielefeldt Ohmann, H" uniqKey="Bielefeldt Ohmann H">H Bielefeldt-Ohmann</name></author><author><name sortKey="Hartwig, Ae" uniqKey="Hartwig A">AE Hartwig</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Vergara Alert, J" uniqKey="Vergara Alert J">J Vergara-Alert</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Imamura, K" uniqKey="Imamura K">K Imamura</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Chan, Sm" uniqKey="Chan S">SM Chan</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Liu, R" uniqKey="Liu R">R Liu</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Miguel, E" uniqKey="Miguel E">E Miguel</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Corman, V" uniqKey="Corman V">V Corman</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Van Doremalen, N" uniqKey="Van Doremalen N">N van Doremalen</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Aly, M" uniqKey="Aly M">M Aly</name></author><author><name sortKey="Elrobh, M" uniqKey="Elrobh M">M Elrobh</name></author><author><name sortKey="Alzayer, M" uniqKey="Alzayer M">M Alzayer</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="De Wit, E" uniqKey="De Wit E">E de Wit</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Adney, Dr" uniqKey="Adney D">DR Adney</name></author></analytic></biblStruct></listBibl></div1></back></TEI><pmc article-type="research-article"><pmc-dir>properties open_access</pmc-dir>

Experimental infections and field observations indicate that infected dromedaries shed large quantities of virus via nasal secretions and that signs of clinical disease are limited to rhinorrhea and a mild elevation in body temperature [<xref rid="CIT0010" ref-type="bibr">10–12</xref>]. Infectious virus was detected in nasal swabs collected during the first week from experimentally infected dromedaries and RNA was detected for 35 days post-infection (dpi) [<xref rid="CIT0010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]. In addition, productive infections after experimental inoculation with MERS-CoV of new world camelids, llama's and alpaca, have been reported suggesting a broad host tropism of MERS-CoV for camelids [<xref rid="CIT0013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>].</p><p>Old world camelids include dromedary and Bactrian camels. Bactrian camels consist of two subspecies: the critically endangered wild Bactrian camels (<italic>Camelus bactrianus ferus</italic>), and domesticated Bactrian camels (<italic>Camelus bactrianus bactrianus</italic>). They are distributed over Western, Central and South Asia, including an area that overlaps with the distribution of dromedary camels (<xref rid="F0001" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>A) [<xref rid="CIT0017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]. A 2014 survey of 30 Bactrian camels from 12 herds in southern Mongolia failed to detect circulation of MERS-CoV either by qRT-PCR on nasal swabs or serology, indicating either that the virus was not circulating in these herds or that these animals are not susceptible to infection [<xref rid="CIT0019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]. Similarly, a 2015 survey of 190 Bactrian camels from 10 herds in the West Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China failed to detect circulation of MERS-CoV by qRT-PCR or serology [<xref rid="CIT0020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]. Sero-surveillance conducted in Kazakhstan did not detected any evidence for circulation of MERS-CoV in 455 sampled dromedary camels and 95 Bactrian camels [<xref rid="CIT0021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]. In order to determine the susceptibility of Bactrian camels to infection with MERS-CoV and the potential risk for introduction of MERS-CoV in areas with Bactrian camels, we inoculated two Bactrian camels and monitored them for nasal shedding and seroconversion and compared the response to experimental historic data from dromedary camels.

They had access to food and water ad libitum and were observed at least once daily. Each camel was sedated with xylazine and inoculated intranasally with MERS-CoV (strain HCoV-EMC/2012) diluted in phosphate-buffered saline for a total dose of 10<sup>7</sup> plaque-forming units (PFU) delivered in 3 mL per nare. Nasal swabs were collected from both camels daily 1–5 days post inoculation (dpi), and from Bactrian camel 1 on day 7, 14, 21 and 28.

In short, swab samples in viral transport medium and homogenized tissues (∼10% w/v) were titrated for MERS-CoV virus by plaque assay. Briefly, ten-fold serial dilutions of samples were prepared in BA-1 medium containing 100 mg gentamicin, 200,000 U penicillin G, 100 mg streptomycin and 5 mg amphotericin/L, and 0.1 ml volumes were inoculated onto confluent monolayers of VeroE6 cells grown in six-well cell culture plates in duplicate. The inoculated cells were incubated for 45 min at 37°C in 5% CO<sub>2</sub> in air and then overlaid with 2 ml/well of MEM without phenol red and containing 0.5% agarose, 2% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics as described above. Two days after the initial overlay, a second overlay was added which was identical to the first except for inclusion of neutral red (33 mg/L).

In short, camel sera were heat inactivated for 30 min at 56°C and two-fold dilutions beginning at 1:5 prepared in BA-1 medium. These samples were mixed with an equal volume of MERS-CoV to obtain a virus concentration of 100 pfu/0.1 ml and an initial serum dilution of 1:10. The virus-serum mixtures were incubated at 37°C for 60 min, then inoculated onto VeroE6 cells as described for plaque assay.

Bactrian DPP4 was 98.3% identical to the dromedary camel DPP4 on the amino acid level, and only varied from human DPP4 by one amino acid in the residues that specifically interact with the MERS-CoV spike (<xref rid="F0001" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>B and C). A modelled co-structure of MERS-CoV spike and Bactrian camel DPP4 showed that the interfacing amino acids were oriented similarly to the known co-crystal structure of MERS-CoV spike and human DPP4. The 100% identity of the 14 amino acid residues between dromedary camel and Bactrian camel DPP4 in the interaction regions indicates that MERS-CoV RBD should bind to Bactrian camel DPP4. This suggests that the MERS-CoV spike would be able to utilize Bactrian camel DPP4 (<xref rid="F0002" ref-type="fig">Figure 2</xref>D and E).

In the present study we demonstrated that Bactrian camels are also susceptible to infection with MERS-CoV and, like dromedary camels [<xref rid="CIT0010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>], shed large quantities of infectious virus in nasal secretions. Moreover, the virus shedding kinetics of MERS-CoV in Bactrian camels was virtually identical to previous experimental studies in dromedary camels. Similar to infections reported in both naturally and experimentally infected dromedaries, infected Bactrian camels displayed only minor clinical disease characterized by mild to moderate quantities of nasal discharge.</p><p>The limitation of this study was use of only two animals and of those, only one was monitored for seroconversion. Nonetheless, the susceptibility and the magnitude and pattern of nasal virus shedding was nearly identical in both animals and clearly demonstrated that Bactrian camels are susceptible to MERS-CoV. The susceptibility of the Bactrian camel to MERS-CoV suggests a general pattern of susceptibility in new and old-world camelids. Experimental infections in camelids have resulted in productive infection and shedding of MERS-CoV [<xref rid="CIT0010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0014" ref-type="bibr">14–16</xref>], in contrast to other livestock species such as goat, sheep, pigs and horses where either no or very limited infection was observed [<xref rid="CIT0016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>]. Interestingly, the MERS-CoV amounts in the upper respiratory tract and the shedding from the upper respiratory tract in the new world camelids, llama and alpaca, are generally 2 log lower compared to those of the old world camelids, dromedary and Bactrian camel [<xref rid="CIT0010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="CIT0013" ref-type="bibr">13–16</xref>]. In addition, upon experimental MERS-CoV transmission studies with alpaca, although transmission between infected animal and contact animal occurred, the contact animal had 2 log lower virus shedding than the inoculated animals. This potentially suggests a lower ability of MERS-CoV for sustained transmission in this species [<xref rid="CIT0015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>].</p><p>Despite the current lack of field evidence of MERS-CoV infection in Bactrian camels, this study demonstrates that Bactrian camels can be readily infected and shed large quantities of virus in nasal secretions. If MERS-CoV were to be introduced into populations of Bactrian camels, we would expect that a potential endemic and sustained pattern of infection may result and they could act as a reservoir, similar to dromedaries, potentially exposing associated human communities to infection.</p></sec></body><back><sec><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>We thank Paul Gordy, Angela Bosco-Lauth, Rick Brandes, Greg Harding, and Joel Artver for their assistance with animal husbandry, Ryan Kissinger and Anita Mora for assistance with the graphics.
