Recently I read an article about MERS. Strange name. Name itself indicates the origin of it.
M. E. R. S. ---- Middle East Respiratory Syndrome
With this , we can now conclude that it is the name of a disease. It is caused by a virus called Corona Virus. These viruses are called by this name since they have crown like projections on their surface.
These viruses commonly cause respiratory illness in mammals including humans.
This virus started making people ill since 2012. It was first identified in Saudi Arabia . Victim had died in the same year.
So far , cases of confirmed MERS infection are reported through out middle east.
