Also known as Coronaviruses, Coronavirus, Corona-virus

Coronaviridae is a family of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses which infect fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals. The group includes the subfamilies Letovirinae, Orthocoronavirinae, and Pitovirinae. The members of the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae are known as coronaviruses.

OverviewAI-generated

Coronaviridae is a family of viruses within the order Nidovirales. It belongs to the class Pisoniviricetes and the phylum Pisuviricota, under the kingdom Viruses. The family is also referred to by the common names coronavirus and Infectious Bronchitis Virus & relatives. Its genome consists of positive-sense single-stranded RNA.

The taxon is classified as accepted and has a marine habitat. It is studied through wastewater surveillance. The family is the subject of 227,077 records in PubMed and 51,189 occurrence records. It is included in the focus list of the WikiProject COVID-19.

Coronaviridae is a family of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses which infect fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals. The group includes the subfamilies Letovirinae, Orthocoronavirinae, and Pitovirinae. The members of the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae are known as coronaviruses.

The viral genome is 26–32 kilobases in length. The particles are typically decorated with large (~20 nm), club- or petal-shaped surface projections (the "peplomers" or "spikes"), which in electron micrographs of spherical particles create an image reminiscent of the solar corona.
