Transgenic human dipeptidyl peptidase-4 Syrian hamsters support MERS coronavirus infection and contact transmission

T Wang, Yanan Liu, Rong Li, Nathan M. Merrill, Zhongde Wang, Peter Halfmann

This study shows that transgenic Syrian hamsters expressing human DPP4 support MERS-CoV infection and direct contact transmission, making them a useful model for studying the virus.
