Highlights

  • Coronaviruses (CoVs) are enveloped, single-stranded and wide families of RNA viruses and have four subgroups: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta

  • The viruses cause ill from the cold to more serious diseases like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV in 2002, Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)-CoV in 2012 and SARS-CoV-2 in 2019 [1] (Figure 1)

  • We report S glycoprotein genomes and constructions of the SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and BatCoV observed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM)

Summary

Introduction

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are enveloped, single-stranded and wide families of RNA viruses and have four subgroups: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The scientists have reported that coronavirus can infect from animal species to human beings. It means that the loud fatality ratio and widespread of these novel emerging coronaviruses are a violent danger to global human population. SARS-CoV is a beta coronavirus that induces severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS-. CoV, was transmitted from civet cats to humans This syndrome is the severe type of pneumonia. MERS-CoV produces Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) that is a severe disease. This virus was transmitted on from dromedary camels to humans and the outbreak of this virus was noticed first in South Korea in the year 2015. You refrain close contact with anyone who indicates symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing [3]
