In 1974, a new coronavirus was discovered from US military dogs, [142] and was named by ICTV in 1991 as Canine coronavirus. PTGV, FIPV, and dog virus were shown to have apparent relatedness by the early 1990s. [143] [144] In 1998, a study revealed that FCoV originates from genetic recombination with Canine coronavirus.

On 17 March 2020, Nature Medicine published a correspondence article titled "The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2" that discussed the origin of the coronavirus that caused COVID-19 pandemic from genetic perspective. The article focused on analysing SARS-CoV-2's genome, and the sites that enable it to bind to human cells. [3]
The key properties of a stem cell were first defined by Ernest McCulloch and James Till at the University of Toronto and the Ontario Cancer Institute in the early 1960s. They discovered the blood-forming stem cell, the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), through their pioneering work in mice. McCulloch and Till began a series of experiments in which ...
It was the first virus to be discovered, and the first to be crystallised and its structure shown in detail. The first X-ray diffraction pictures of the crystallised virus were obtained by Bernal and Fankuchen in 1941. On the basis of her pictures, Rosalind Franklin discovered the full structure of the virus in 1955. [35]
The UK also expressed support for an investigation, although both France and UK said the priority at the time was to first fight the virus. [178] [179] Some public health experts have also called for an independent examination of COVID-19's origins, "arguing WHO does not have the political clout to conduct such a forensic analysis". [180]
Samples from a study suggesting the coronavirus was circulating outside China by October 2019 have been re-tested at the World Health Organization's (WTO) request, two scientists who led the ...
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a type of coronavirus, causes avian infectious bronchitis. [131] The virus is of concern to the poultry industry because of the high mortality from infection, its rapid spread, and its effect on production. [127] The virus affects both meat production and egg production and causes substantial economic loss. [132]
New cases were 22.02% higher than those added in the previous week, and COVID-19 testing increased by 0.44%. Palm Beach reported 1,489 new resident cases, reaching a cumulative total of 461,440.
