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).

It starts with the first report of a new type of upper-respiratory tract diseaseamong chickens in North Dakota, U.S., in 1931. The causative agent was identified as a virus in 1933.
SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh known coronavirus to infect people, after 229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1, MERS-CoV, and the original SARS-CoV. [105] Like the SARS-related coronavirus implicated in the 2003 SARS outbreak, SARS‑CoV‑2 is a member of the subgenus Sarbecovirus (beta-CoV lineage B). [106] [107] Coronaviruses undergo frequent recombination. [108]
SARS-related coronavirus is a member of the genus Betacoronavirus (group 2) and monotypic of the subgenus Sarbecovirus (subgroup B). [13] Sarbecoviruses, unlike embecoviruses or alphacoronaviruses, have only one papain-like proteinase (PLpro) instead of two in the open reading frame ORF1ab. [14] SARSr-CoV was determined to be an early split-off ...
The timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic lists the articles containing the chronology and epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, [1] the virus that causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The first human cases of COVID-19 occurred in Wuhan, People's Republic of China, on or about 17 November 2019. [2]
Sawyer also recommends masking while traveling or in high-risk situations. “If you’re in a community where the virus is surging, as so many people are, it is smart to wear a mask if you’re ...
The COVID-19 pandemic in Peru has resulted in 4,526,977 [1] confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 220,975 [1] deaths. The virus spread to Peru on 6 March 2020, when a 25-year-old man who had travelled to Spain, France, and the Czech Republic tested positive. [ 4 ]
One way to estimate COVID-19 deaths that includes unconfirmed cases is to use the excess mortality, which is the overall number of deaths that exceed what would normally be expected. [ 4 ] From March 1, 2020, through the end of 2020, there were 522,368 excess deaths in the United States, or 22.9% more deaths than would have been expected in ...
