I am not sure.   It's difficult to know if that is where the virus originated or if they are simply a vector animal.   Scientists may have better knowledge of the origins, but often it is a mix of different strains and lives well and is passed on by the vector animals.   I think both camels and civit cats are vectors for sure.

This is what I also read recently. Camels and civets were vectors for the virus to move from its native reservoir, which is bats. Chinese cave bats for SARS and Egyptian tomb bats for MERS, hence Indiana Jones.
