*Genome sequences compared with those for case III-A, the source case-patient for healthcare-associated cluster III. The variation table was generated on the basis of the full genome sequence described in the Methods section. Blank cells indicate no sequence difference. MERS-CoV, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus.
†Case not associated with healthcare.
