COVID-19 simulation models are mathematical infectious disease models for the spread of COVID-19. [1] The list should not be confused with COVID-19 apps used mainly for digital contact tracing . Note that some of the applications listed are website-only models or simulators, and some of those rely on (or use) real-time data from other sources.
Coronavirus diseases are caused by viruses in the coronavirus subfamily, a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans and birds, the group of viruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal.
Distinct from the PANGOLIN tool, Pango lineages are regularly, manually curated based on the current globally circulating diversity. A large phylogenetic tree is constructed from an alignment containing publicly available SARS-CoV-2 genomes, and sub-clusters of sequences in this tree are manually examined and cross-referenced against epidemiological information to designate new lineages; these ...
This article aims at keeping an up-to-date list of Coronavirus strains and subspecies successfully isolated and cultured in laboratory, a task which is often challenging. When relevant it shall include a few synthetic chimera as well as some strains that were only propagated in laboratory animals.
Sialodacryoadenitis virus (SDAV), which is a strain of the species Murine coronavirus, [143] is highly infectious coronavirus of laboratory rats, which can be transmitted between individuals by direct contact and indirectly by aerosol. Rabbit enteric coronavirus causes acute gastrointestinal disease and diarrhea in young European rabbits. [127]
Symptoms of COVID-19. Some less common symptoms of COVID-19 can be relatively non-specific; however the most common symptoms are fever, dry cough, and loss of taste and smell. [1] [22] Among those who develop symptoms, approximately one in five may become more seriously ill and have difficulty in breathing.
A COVID-19 vaccine is intended to provide acquired immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 . Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, an established body of knowledge existed about the structure and function of coronaviruses causing diseases like severe acute ...
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Some have been stated, to be of particular importance due to their potential for increased transmissibility, [1] increased virulence, or reduced effectiveness of vaccines against them. [2] [3] These variants contribute to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
