Coronavirus isolated from humans US7220852B1
Coronavirus refers to a family of viruses that can cause illnesses in animals and humans. In humans, coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most well-known strain today is the SARS-CoV-2, which led to the COVID-19 pandemic. This virus primarily spreads through respiratory droplets and has had a profound global impact, resulting in millions of infections and deaths worldwide. Understanding its origins, transmission methods, and effects on the human body is crucial in controlling its spread and developing preventive measures.
