The coevolutionary mosaic of bat betacoronavirus emergence risk. [PDF]
Virus Evol, 2023Pathogen evolution is one of the least predictable components of disease emergence, particularly in nature. Here, building on principles established by the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution, we develop a quantitative, spatially explicit framework ...

Broad betacoronavirus neutralization by a stem helix–specific human antibody [PDF]
Science, 2021Description Targeting a range of betacoranaviruses In the past 20 years, three highly pathogenic β-coronaviruses have crossed from animals to humans, including the most recent: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). A spike protein

A potential broad‐spectrum neutralizing antibody against Betacoronavirus [PDF]
Journal of Medical Virology, 2023Three pandemics caused by human Betacoronavirus had broken out in the past two decades. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) was one of the novel epidemic strains which caused the third pandemic, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19)

Quasineutral multistability in an epidemiological-like model for defective-helper betacoronavirus infection in cell cultures [PDF]
arXivIt is well known that, during replication, RNA viruses spontaneously generate defective viral genomes (DVGs). DVGs are unable to complete an infectious cycle autonomously, and depend on coinfection with a helper wild-type virus (HV) for their replication and/or transmission.

Comparative Study of Blue Light with Ultraviolet (UVC) Radiation on Betacoronavirus 1 [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2023The ongoing coronavirus pandemic requires more effective disinfection methods. Disinfection using ultraviolet light (UV), especially longer UVC wavelengths, such as 254 and 270/280 nm, has been proven to have virucidal properties, but its adverse effects

Genomic Feature Analysis of Betacoronavirus Provides Insights Into SARS and COVID-19 Pandemics
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021In December 2019, the world awoke to a new betacoronavirus strain named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Betacoronavirus consists of A, B, C and D subgroups.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus: Another Zoonotic Betacoronavirus Causing SARS-Like Disease [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2015SUMMARY The source of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic was traced to wildlife market civets and ultimately to bats. Subsequent hunting for novel coronaviruses (CoVs) led to the discovery of two additional human and over 40 animal ...

The Omicron Lineages BA.1 and BA.2 (Betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2) Have Repeatedly Entered Brazil through a Single Dispersal Hub [PDF]
Viruses, 2023Brazil currently ranks second in absolute deaths by COVID-19, even though most of its population has completed the vaccination protocol. With the introduction of Omicron in late 2021, the number of COVID-19 cases soared once again in the country.

Serological evidence of a pararubulavirus and a betacoronavirus in the geographically isolated Christmas Island flying-fox (Pteropus natalis) [PDF]
, 2022Due to their geographical isolation and small populations, insular bats may not be able to maintain acute immunizing viruses that rely on a large population for viral maintenance.
