Scientists are soon to test cats, dogs and even rats as they seek to understand the mysterious Mers infection.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome was first discovered in 2012 and has so far killed about 200 people globally.
While the virus that causes it has been found widely in camels, researchers say it could be lurking in other species.
One expert told BBC News that the hunt was likely to extend soon to animals that had close contact with people.
Mers was originally found in a patient from Bishah in Saudi Arabia but since then almost 600 cases of the infection have been discovered around the world, with about 30% of those who get sick dying from the illness.
Researchers believe the coronavirus that causes the infection crossed over from animals 商鋪裝修

What is Mers?
It's a type of coronavirus
These cause respiratory infections in humans and animals
Symptoms include fever, cough and breathing difficulties
It can cause pneumonia and sometimes kidney failure
Experts believe the virus is not very contagious
They are unclear on the best treatment but advise good hand hygiene to prevent transmission
Q&A: Mers - the new coronavirus
As the numbers of people infected by the virus rose, scientists sought to test common animals in the Middle East for exposure.
Using blood samples from camels in the Canary Islands, Dutch researchers found the first antibodies to the disease. They liken these antibodies to footprints, indicating that the virus had once passed through the animal audio cables.
A recent study showed conclusively that the version of the virus circulating in humans is indistinguishable from the one that's been found in camels.
However, the lead author of that report, Dr Thomas Briese from Columbia University in New York, believes that there are many unanswered questions about the disease.
He points to the fact that if camels were the sole route of infection, then the illness should be more prevalent among those who work with or are in close contact with the animals.
Joerger goes way back with Timberwolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders. As a young coach trying to make his way up the ladder, Joerger came to watch Saunders, who coached the Timberwolves from 1995-2005, run practices. The two formed a mutual respect which lasts to this day.
"The Timberwolves are the only NBA team of the 30 in the league that are in his home state and after having a long and honest conversation with Dave, he felt he owed it to his family, which resides entirely in Minnesota ... and we felt we owed it to Dave to at least have a discussion in this regard," Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace told ESPN 92.9 FM in Memphis.
Asked if that was best for the Grizzlies, Wallace said he didn't see anything wrong with granting Joerger the chance to talk gucci handbags sale.
"He's just been granted permission to talk and will do so soon," said Wallace, who has assumed interim watch over the basketball operations while Pera restructures the front office.
Saunders, who coached in the CBA before breaking into the NBA, has long had an affinity for coaches who had to grind it out in the minor leagues, believing they learn not only how to coach, but to run an organization. Joerger won championships in the NBDL, the International Basketball Association and the CBA before joining the Grizzlies as an assistant to Hollins.
Joerger's experience as a head coach last year with the Grizzlies helps him fit the profile Saunders is looking for in a replacement for Adelman. Saunders has said he wants a proven coach who knows the demands of running an NBA team, including handling questions from the media.
The latter qualification is of particular concern for the Wolves right now with star forward Kevin Love set to opt out of his contract after next season. The Wolves are considering all their options with Love, including potentially trading him this summer 暗瘡

If the Wolves do not trade Love, they will head into the season with one of the major story lines in the league, one sure to draw attention from media all across the country. That's part of the reason Saunders is reluctant to turn over the keys to a first-time head coach 娛樂預測.
Under Common Core, parents are likely to see some unfamiliar terms on their children's elementary-school math homework. Here are some examples drawn from New York state's math curriculum:
—Grade 2 addition:
Solve using your place value chart and number disks, composing a 10 when necessary: 53 + 19
—Grade 2 subtraction:
Craig checked out 28 books at the library. He read and returned some books. He still has 19 books checked out. How many books did Craig return? Draw a tape diagram or number bond to solve.
—Grade 4 multiplication:
Represent the following expressions with disks, regrouping as necessary, writing a matching expression, and recording the partial products vertically: 3 x 24
—Grade 4 word problem:
Cindy says she found a shortcut for doing multiplication problems. When she multiplies 3 × 24, she says, "3 × 4 is 12 ones, or 1 ten and 2 ones. Then there's just 2 tens left in 24, so add it up and you get 3 tens and 2 ones." Do you think Cindy's shortcut works? Explain your thinking in words and justify your response using a model or partial products.
Another appeal before the 5th Circuit holds that Campbell isn't mentally competent enough to execute because he has a 69 IQ, and courts have generally set a 70 IQ as the minimum threshold.
Campbell was convicted of capital murder for the January 1991 slaying of a 20-year-old Houston bank teller, Alexandra Rendon. She was abducted while putting gas into her car, robbed, raped and shot.
"This was not a shoot and rob and run away," Rendon's cousin, Israel Santana, said. "The agony she had to go through. ... It works me up."
Rendon, who had been making wedding plans, was buried wearing her recently purchased wedding dress Speed Dating Dating Service.
