Coronavirus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coronavirus is a genus of animal virus belonging to the family Coronaviridae . Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and a helical symmetry. The gen...

Some Human Coronavirus strains, namely 229E and serologically related strains, are generally readily propagated in human cell culture. However, other human coronavirus strains, namely OC43 and some serologically related strains, are considerably more difficult to propagate in cell culture.

In addition to discussing basic viral features, the focus of the page is on the most common clinical manifestation of Human Coronavirus infection, the Common Cold.

Coronaviruses were first isolated from chickens in 1937. After the discovery of Rhinoviruses in the 1950's, ~50% of colds still could not be ascribed to known agents. In 1965, Tyrrell and Bynoe used cultures of human ciliated embryonal trachea to propagate the first human coronavirus (HCoV) in vitro.

The coronaviruses can also cause both upper and, more commonly, lower respiratory tract illness in humans (group 1 [human coronavirus 229E] and group 2 [human coronavirus OC43]).

The complete genome sequences of the human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) laboratory strain from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), and a HCoV-OC43 clinical isolate, designated Paris, were obtained. Both genomes are 30,713 nucleotides long, excluding the poly(A) tail, and only differ by 6 nucleotides.

Until recently only two human coronaviruses were known – human coronavirus (HCoV) 229E and HCoV-OC43, representatives of the group 1 and 2 coronaviruses, respectively. Both were identified in 1960s and are generally considered as common cold viruses.
