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, 2023 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

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus: Another Zoonotic Betacoronavirus Causing SARS-Like Disease [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2015 SUMMARY 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 ...

Broad betacoronavirus neutralization by a stem helix–specific human antibody
Science, 2021 Description 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

The Omicron Lineages BA.1 and BA.2 (Betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2) Have Repeatedly Entered Brazil through a Single Dispersal Hub [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 Brazil 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.

A potential broad‐spectrum neutralizing antibody against Betacoronavirus [PDF]
Journal of Medical Virology, 2023 Three 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)

The coevolutionary mosaic of bat betacoronavirus emergence risk [PDF]
Virus Evol, 2023 Pathogen 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 ...

Inhibition of Human Respiratory Influenza A Virus and Human Betacoronavirus-1 by the Blend of Double-Standardized Extracts of Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliot and Sambucus nigra L. [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2022 Viral and bacterial diseases are among the greatest concerns of humankind since ancient times. Despite tremendous pharmacological progress, there is still a need to search for new drugs that could treat or support the healing processes.

Genomic Feature Analysis of Betacoronavirus Provides Insights Into SARS and COVID-19 Pandemics
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 In 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.

Structural proteins in the mechanisms of betacoronavirus virion assembly [PDF]
Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2022 The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 caused an urgent need to investigate the molecular mechanisms of its reproduction. However, the detailed step-by-step mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 virion assembly has not been described yet.
