Deletion variants of middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus from humans, Jordan, 2015

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 22, No. 4, Year 2016

We characterized Middle East respiratory syndrome coronaviruses from a hospital outbreak in Jordan in 2015. The viruses from Jordan were highly similar to isolates from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, except for deletions in open reading frames 4a and 3. Transmissibility and pathogenicity of this strain remains to be determined.
