Coronaviruses, pathogens with a zoonotic potential, are positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses. SARS Coronavirus-2, the cause of Covid-19 infection, is from the betacoronavirinea subfamily, which has close genomic and proteomic similarity to SARS Coronavirus-1(1). Given the genomic proximity of these two viruses, studies on SARS Coronavirus-1 can be used to control or detect SARS Coronaviru...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Immunopathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment

SARS-CoV-2 is a member of the coronaviruses family that causes the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China in late 2019 which has exploded to a global pandemic. The reference genome of the SARS-CoV-2 is considered to be very closely related to SARS-CoV and the virus uses the ACE-2 receptor for cellular entry similar to SARS-CoV. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, c...
