About The Cover
ONLINE COVER Beware of Spitting Camels! Shown is a camel, a zoonotic source for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection, which causes a potentially lethal pneumonia that can transfer between individuals. Zhao et al. report that T cell responses in MERS survivors can be detected in the absence of MERS-specific antibody, suggesting that T cells may be useful in detecting mild or subclinical infections.
