Characteristics of SARS- CoV-2 and COVID-19


Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) is a highly transmissible and pathogenic coronavirus that emerged in late 2019 and has caused a pandemic of acute respiratory disease, named ‘coronavirus disease 2019’ (COVID-19), which threatens human health and public safety. In this Review, we describe the basic virology of SARS- CoV-2, including genomic characteristics and receptor use, highlighting its key difference from previously known coronaviruses. We summarize current knowledge of clinical, epidemiological and pathological features of COVID-19, as well as recent progress in animal models and antiviral treatment
approaches for SARS- CoV-2 infection. We also discuss the potential wildlife hosts and zoonotic origin of this emerging virus in detail
