SARSr-CoV
29 March 2020Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus WKP
Definition : Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARSr-CoV) is a species of coronavirus that infects humans, bats and certain other mammals.[2][3] It is an enveloped positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that enters its host cell by binding to the ACE2 receptor. It is a member of the genus Betacoronavirus and subgenus Sarbecoronavirus.
Two strains of the virus have caused outbreaks of severe respiratory (...) -

29 March 2020Coronavirus disease 2019; 2019-nCoV pneumonia; SARS-CoV-2 infection; 2019-nCOV infection WKP
Definition : Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
The disease was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China’s Hubei province, and has since spread globally, resulting in the ongoing 2019–2020 coronavirus pandemic.
The pathological findings of human SARS‐CoV‐2 infection have been limited (...) -
Alphacoronavirus
29 March 2020WKP
Definition : Alphacoronaviruses (Alpha-CoV) are the first of the four genera, Alpha-, Beta-, Gamma-, and Deltacoronavirus in the subfamily Coronavirinae of the family Coronaviridae.
Coronaviruses are enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that include both human and zoonotic species.
Within this subfamily, viruses have spherical virions with club-shaped surface projections and a core shell. The name is from the Latin corona, meaning crown, which describes the (...) -
Betacoronavirus
29 March 2020WKP
Definition : Betacoronaviruses (β-CoVs or Beta-CoVs) are one of four genera of coronaviruses of the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae in the family Coronaviridae, of the order Nidovirales.
Betacoronaviruses are enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses of zoonotic origin. The coronavirus genera are each composed of varying viral lineages with the betacoronavirus genus containing four such lineages. In older literature, this genus is also known as group 2 coronaviruses.

MERS
29 March 2020MERS ; middle east respiratory syndrome WKP
Definition : Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), also known as camel flu, is a viral respiratory infection caused by the MERS-coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
Symptoms may range from mild to severe. They include fever, cough, diarrhea and shortness of breath. Disease is typically more severe in those with other health problems. Mortality is about one-third of diagnosed cases.
MERS-CoV is a betacoronavirus derived from bats. Camels have been (...)
