In recent time, two new developments related to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus [MERS-CoV] have occurred in the Eastern Mediterranean Region [EMR] of WHO that may potentially be of significant public health importance. The first is that the MERSCOV outbreak infection seems to be spreading geographically. Recently two more countries in the EMR [Oman and Kuwait] have reported laboratory confirmed cases. The second development is that the MERS-CoV has been detected in camels linked to two recent confirmed human infections in Qatar

Transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) is sporadic in South Korea. Since porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) infection was identified in South Korea in 1996, the TGE infection has decreased with the PRCV occurrence. In this study, we described the sero-surveillance of TGE/PRCV infection by using a commercially available ELISA kit. A total of 1,295 sera from slaughtered pigs and 69 sera from wild boars were collected in years 2009 and 2010 throughout the country and tested for antibodies against TGE and PRCV. Although there was no clinical sign observed for TGE and vaccination had not been done for TGEV, 4.9% of sera showed positive for antibody against TGEV. Furthermore, 63.7% of finisher and 8.7% of wild boars were positive for antibody against PRCV. Our result suggests that the TGEV infection might still be present in some farms in South Korea.
