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 ...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is the disease caused by SARS-CoV-1. It causes an often severe illness and is marked initially by systemic symptoms of muscle pain, headache, and fever, followed in 2–14 days by the onset of respiratory symptoms, [ 13 ] mainly cough, dyspnea, and pneumonia. Another common finding in SARS patients is a ...
Betacoronavirus (β-CoVs or Beta-CoVs) is one of four genera (Alpha -, Beta-, Gamma-, and Delta-) of coronaviruses. Member viruses are enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses that infect mammals, including humans. The natural reservoir for betacoronaviruses are bats and rodents. Rodents are the reservoir for the subgenus Embecovirus, while bats ...
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).

The virus was first confirmed to have spread to Spain on 31 January 2020, when a German tourist tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in La Gomera, Canary Islands. [ 2 ]
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.
