When a virus with a nonhuman origin HA and an efficient human transmissibility gets transmitted from the adaptation host swine to human (4), a pandemic might ensue (5) of IAVs, avian and swine species should be considered the natural reservoir animals, and in case of MERS-CoVs, bats and dromedary camels [32, 87, 90] . In addition to NHP and hDPP4-mouse models, rabbits might be a good candidate for MERS-CoV transmission experiments due to its camel-like receptor distribution in the upper respiratory tract (Table 2 ) [142, 150] . Human-like symptoms of MERS-CoV infection have not been reproduced in other animals than hDPP4-mice and NHPs. Starting from the distinct receptor specificities of the HA proteins between avian and human IAVs, host restriction determinants of IAVs have been documented [56] . ./cache/cord-286741-h3oix9zc.txt ./txt/cord-286741-h3oix9zc.txt
