DESCRIPTION:First identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012\, there have been 853
  cases of MERS - Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus - and report
 s are no longer confined to the Arabian Peninsula. The high fatality rate\
 , poor understanding of viral transmission and the lack of a cure or vacci
 ne has made MERS-CoV an intense subject of recent scientific investigation
 . \n\nLeading virologist Dr. Ben Neuman from Reading University will be di
 scussing how can we determine outbreak response priorities\, treatment str
 ategies\, and clinical management approaches in order to improve the globa
 l outlook against this emerging viral disease.\n\nDr. Neuman combines rese
 arch and a media career\, being actively involved in reporting for BBC Wor
 ld News and AlJazeera English to give a scientific perspective on topical 
 issues.\n\nAll are welcome – and this is a must come for all second year
  medics and Part II pathologists!
