Spreads rapidly and with significant mortality.
Believed to originate from camels, but can spread from person to person in areas without these animals.
If significant numbers in oil producing numbers are infected, then at the very least oil supplies could be affected.
World wide spread could be very serious, and would perhaps initially go unnoticed whilst everyone is looking for Ebola.
At present the disease seems to be more prevalent in relatively rich oil producing nations with good health care. A spread to less developed countries would be worrying.
MERS, new disease to worry about.
