SARS-CoV-2–A Tough Opponent for the Immune System
New paper on COVID-19 by USERN interest groups
🌀There are about 30 coronaviruses that can affect humans and animals, and their respiratory complications are common to both human and animal species.
🌀Before SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV occurred, coronaviruses were only referred to as a possible cause of the common cold and mild localized respiratory infections in humans.
🌀SARS-CoV (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus) and MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) were the two epidemics that appeared in 2002 and 2012, respectively.
🌀MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV infection could cause manifestations of pneumonia, renal inadequacy, or even death and therefore made coronaviruses a global concern.
🌀Coronaviruses recently returned with a new one, SARS-CoV-2, related to a potentially severe respiratory disease–called COVID-19.
