CONSISE members and WHO have developed four standardized research protocols for MERS-CoV. These protocols are listed below and are available here and on the WHO MERS-CoV website:
- Cross-sectional seroprevalence study of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection in presumed high risk populations
- Case‐control study to assess potential risk factors related to human illness caused by Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS‐CoV)
- Assessment of potential risk factors of infection of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) among health care personnel in a health care setting
- Seroepidemiological Investigation of Contacts of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) Patients
