SARS‑CoV‑2 belongs to the broad family of viruses known as coronaviruses. [28] It is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) virus, with a single linear RNA segment. Coronaviruses infect humans, other mammals, including livestock and companion animals, and avian species. [ 104 ]
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Yes: Coxsackie B virus: Coxsackie B virus infection Enterovirus infection is diagnosed mainly via serological tests such as ELISA and from cell culture. There is no well-accepted treatment for the Coxsackie B group of viruses. Under research [10] PRNP
Researchers rely on what are known as viral culture tests in which they take a swab of the coronavirus and see if they can grow the virus in the lab, as the best proxy for infectiousness.
The infection of new-born chicks was characterized by gasping and listlessness with high mortality rates of 40–90%. [16] Leland David Bushnell and Carl Alfred Brandly isolated the virus that caused the infection in 1933. [17] The virus was then known as infectious bronchitis virus (IBV).

However, stylization as "Covid-19" has become common as well. Numerous news sources including The New York Times, CNN, Politico, The Wall Street Journal, NBCNews have presented the term with a capital C but all other letters as lower case. [30] As a result, use of "Covid-19" has become commonplace and even the accepted standard in some cases. [31]
Coronaviridae is a family of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses which infect amphibians, birds, and mammals. Commonly referred to as coronaviruses in the English language, the family coronaviridae includes the subfamilies Letovirinae and Orthocoronavirinae; the latter also known as coronavirinae. The viral genome is 26–32 kilobases in length.
