Comparative Study of Blue Light with Ultraviolet (UVC) Radiation on Betacoronavirus 1 [PDF]
The 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

Discovery of a novel Betacoronavirus 1, cpCoV, in goats in China: The new risk of cross-species transmission. [PDF]
Betacoronavirus is a causative agent of respiratory and enteric diseases in humans and animals. Several ruminants are recognized to be intermediate hosts in the transmission of emerging coronaviruses from reservoir hosts to humans.

Loading of Oregano Oil in Natural Nanogel and Preliminary Studies on Its Antiviral Activity on Betacoronavirus 1. [PDF]
Oregano oil was successfully encapsulated into chitosan–albumin nanogel via emulsification and electrostatic gelation. The system was characterized with a mean diameter around 26 nm, narrow size distribution (PDI = 0.242) and approximately 40 ...

Detection of avian, murine, bovine, shrew, and bat coronaviruses in wild mammals from Mexico [PDF]
Coronaviruses infect a wide range of animal and human hosts. Some human coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, originated in animals, with bats often serving as ancestral hosts.
