Outbreak at Konkut University: MERS-CoV infection ?

The School of Veterinary Medicine at Konkut University is surprisingly close to Konkut University Hospital, where a number of patients were recently treated for MERS CoV virus infection.   In the following campus map, the Veterinary School and Hosital are denoted by numbers 15 and 30, respectively; and number 12 identifies the Animal Science School.   Significantly, a paper published by the school in 2007 suggests that at least some of the veterinary staff have been involved in work with camels.
