Virus titers in tissues collected from dromedary camel 1 inoculated with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Tissues were collected at 5 days postinoculation (dpi) for camel 1, 28 dpi for vamel 2 and 42 dpi for camel 3. Detectable infectious virus in the collected tissues was found only in camel 1. Nasal turbinates were sampled in 3 different sections: anterior, medial, and posterior. Infectious titers were determined by plaque assay. LN, lymph node.
