Identification, Isolation, and Molecular Characterization of Betacoronavirus in Oryx leucoryx

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Coronaviruses (CoVs) are enveloped viruses with a large RNA genome (26 to 32 kb) and are classified into four genera: Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Gammacoronavirus, and Deltacoronavirus.

Novel Betacoronavirus in Dromedaries of the Middle East, 2013 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
In 2013, a novel betacoronavirus was identified in fecal samples from dromedaries in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Antibodies against the recombinant nucleocapsid protein of the virus, which we named dromedary camel coronavirus (DcCoV) UAE-HKU23, were detected in 52% of 59 dromedary serum samples tested.

A potential broad‐spectrum neutralizing antibody against Betacoronavirus [PDF]

Journal of Medical Virology, 2023
AbstractThree 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), a global public health crisis.

The coevolutionary mosaic of bat betacoronavirus emergence risk

Virus Evolution, 2023
Abstract 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 for mapping the evolutionary risk of viral emergence.

Referee report. For: Phylogenetic analysis of the betacoronavirus S1 subunit [version 1; peer review: 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]

F1000Research, 2021
The ongoing pandemic outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been caused by the new betacoronavirus (BetaCoV) severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Together with other epidemic outbreaks of BetaCoV infectious diseases (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2002-2003 in China and Middle East Respiratory ...

Betacoronavirus-specific alternate splicing [PDF]

Genomics, 2021
AbstractViruses can subvert a number of cellular processes in order to block innate antiviral responses, and many viruses interact with cellular splicing machinery. SARS-CoV-2 infection was shown to suppress global mRNA splicing, and at least 10 SARS-CoV-2 proteins bind specifically to one or more human RNAs.

Group C Betacoronavirus in Bat Guano Fertilizer, Thailand [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To the Editor: Bats play a critical role in the transmission and origin of zoonotic diseases, primarily viral zoonoses associated with high case-fatality rates, including those caused by Nipah virus (NiV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)–like coronavirus (CoV) infections (1).

Identification of the Fusion Peptide-Containing Region in Betacoronavirus Spike Glycoproteins [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2016
ABSTRACT The fusion peptides (FP) play an essential role in fusion of viral envelope with cellular membranes. The location and properties of the FPs in the spike (S) glycoproteins of different coronaviruses (CoV) have not yet been determined. Through amino acid sequence analysis of S proteins of representative CoVs, we identified

Alpha- and betacoronavirus cis-acting RNA elements

Current Opinion in Microbiology
Coronaviruses have exceptionally large RNA genomes and employ multiprotein replication/transcription complexes to orchestrate specific steps of viral RNA genome replication and expression. Most of these processes involve viral cis-acting RNA elements that are engaged in vital RNA-RNA and/or RNA-protein interactions.

PHEV infection: A promising model of betacoronavirus-associated neurological and olfactory dysfunction

PLOS Pathogens, 2022
Porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (PHEV) is a highly neurotropic coronavirus belonging to the genus Betacoronavirus. Similar to pathogenic coronaviruses to which humans are susceptible, such as SARS-CoV-2, PHEV is transmitted primarily through respiratory droplets and close contact, entering the central nervous system (CNS) from the ...
