immune system
• MIP-1alpha is increased in the liver, lung, and spleen of MERS-CoV-infected mice at 4 and 6 dpi
• Il-1beta mRNA levels are elevated in the lung and spleen at 6 dpi
• TNF-alpha mRNA levels are elevated in the lung and spleen at 4 and 6 dpi
• MERS-CoV-infected mice show mild inflammation with inflammatory cell infiltration into the lung, including infiltration of activated macrophages at 6 dpi
• MERS-CoV-infected mice show an enhanced systemic innate inflammatory response with an increase in proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine expression in the spleen and macrophage infiltration in the lungs
• mice exhibit polarized activation of macrophages in the lungs following MERS-CoV infection
• mice intranasally infected with the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV; 1-001-MERS-IS-2015001 from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) are permissive to infection and show increased morbidity, mortality, and proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine expression
• viral RNA levels increased in the brain, spleen, and intestine at 6 dpi of MERS-CoV-infected mice, however, only low or unchanged viral gene expression is seen in the liver
• MERS-CoV-infected mice show increased mortality with 40% and 100% mortality at 6 dpi and 7 dpi, respectively

mortality/aging
• MERS-CoV-infected mice show increased mortality with 40% and 100% mortality at 6 dpi and 7 dpi, respectively

growth/size/body
• MERS-CoV-infected mice develop acute respiratory and wasting syndromes with rapid weight loss at 4 to 6 days post infection (dpi)

respiratory system
• focal hemorrhage in the interstitium is seen at 6 dpi with MERS-CoV
• MERS-CoV-infected mice show mild inflammation with inflammatory cell infiltration into the lung, including infiltration of activated macrophages at 6 dpi
• MERS-CoV-infected mice show irregular arrangement of pneumocytes and alveolar septal changes, progressive lung damage with alveolar septal thickening
• mice exhibit progressive pulmonary fibrosis following MERS-CoV infection
• MERS-CoV-infected mice exhibit more rapid breathing than controls

cardiovascular system
• focal hemorrhage in the interstitium is seen at 6 dpi with MERS-CoV

hematopoietic system
• mice exhibit polarized activation of macrophages in the lungs following MERS-CoV infection

homeostasis/metabolism
• MIP-1alpha is increased in the liver, lung, and spleen of MERS-CoV-infected mice at 4 and 6 dpi
• Il-1beta mRNA levels are elevated in the lung and spleen at 6 dpi
• TNF-alpha mRNA levels are elevated in the lung and spleen at 4 and 6 dpi
• lungs of MERS-CoV-infected mice show increased TGF-beta1 expression, peaking at 4 dpi and decreased at 6 dpi

integument
• MERS-CoV-infected mice exhibit ruffled or sweaty fur

nervous system
• MERS-CoV-infected mice show convulsions

behavior/neurological
• MERS-CoV-infected mice exhibit inactivity
• MERS-CoV-infected mice show convulsions
