Emerging Coronavirus Which Gives Rise to the Disease in Humans

Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses with a single-strand “+” RNA, its genome size varying from 25 to 32 thousands of nucleotides. They cause respiratory and intestinal diseases in animals and humans. The review contains the data on human infection cases induced by a new coronavirus (NCoV), as well a...

Summary:Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses with a single-strand “+” RNA, its genome size varying from 25 to 32 thousands of nucleotides. They cause respiratory and intestinal diseases in animals and humans. The review contains the data on human infection cases induced by a new coronavirus (NCoV), as well as the information about probable natural agent reservoirs, mechanisms of transmission, some characteristic features of the etiological agent, methods of diagnostics and identification, complete genome sequence, and NCoV relation to the established coronaviruses.
