Coronavirus: symptoms, causes, treatment complications
-
The coronaviruses are RNA viruses belonging to the coronaviridae family that can infect animals as well as humans and mainly cause respiratory disease in humans. A number of types of pathogens are pathogenic to humans: human corona virus 229E, human corona virus NL63, human corona virus OC43 and SARS coronavirus. At the end of December 2019, a new variant of the corona virus emerged in Wuhan, China, called COVID-19, a disease that causes lung infections and respiratory problems. The name coronavirus is derived from the image of the virus under the electron microscope. The virus has crown-shaped (from Latin: corona - crown) protrusions with a ball on top. Coronaviruses occur worldwide and are usually transmitted via droplet infection from the nose and throat (coughing, sneezing), but also via contact infection. Numerous variants are endemic to bats and pass from them to other animal species or to humans as zoos.
