The species Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus: classifying 2019-nCoV and naming it SARS-CoV-2
Alexander E. Gorbalenya,Susan C. Baker,Ralph S. Baric,Raoul J. de Groot,Christian Drosten,Anastasia A. Gulyaeva,Bart L. Haagmans,Chris Lauber,Andrey M. Leontovich,Benjamin W. Neuman,Dmitry Penzar,Stanley Perlman,Leo L.M. Poon,Dmitry V. Samborskiy,Igor A. Sidorov,Isabel Sola,John Ziebuhr +16 more
TL;DR: The independent zoonotic transmission of SARS-CoV and SARS -CoV-2 highlights the need for studying viruses at the species level to complement research focused on individual pathogenic viruses of immediate significance.

TL;DR: The Coronavirus Study Group (CSG) of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses assessed the novelty of the human pathogen tentatively named 2019-nCoV and formally recognizes this virus as a sister to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: During the summer of 2012, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a hitherto unknown coronavirus was isolated from the sputum of a patient with acute pneumonia and renal failure and was provisionally called human coronav virus Erasmus Medical Center (EMC).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results demonstrate these viruses evolved similar strategies to engage sialoglycans at the surface of target cells, and how 9-O-acetyl sialic acid is recognized by the human coronavirus OC43 S glycoprotein and how this interaction promotes viral entry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feline Coronavirus Type II Strains 79-1683 and 79-1146 Originate from a Double Recombination between Feline Coronavirus Type I and Canine Coronavirus
A. A. P. M. Herrewegh,Ingrid M.B Smeenk,Marian C. Horzinek,Peter J. M. Rottier,Raoul J. de Groot +4 more
TL;DR: The data show that the type II FCoVs have arisen from double recombination events: additional crossover sites were mapped in the ORF1ab frameshifting region of strain 79-1683 and in the 5′ half of ORF 1b of strains 79-1146.
