Sep 1, 2017 · Members of the family Coronaviridae are large, enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses. They are the largest known RNA viruses, with genomes ranging from 25 to 32 kb and virions of 118–140 nm in diameter. The family is divided into two subfamilies, the Coronavirinae and the Torovirinae.

Coronaviridae is a family of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses which infect amphibians, birds, and mammals. The group includes the subfamilies Letovirinae and Orthocoronavirinae; the members of the latter are known as coronaviruses. The viral genome is 26–32 kilobases in length.
May 15, 2024 · Coronavirus, any virus belonging to the family Coronaviridae. Coronaviruses have enveloped virions that measure approximately 120 nm in diameter. The genome consists of a single strand of positive-sense RNA (ribonucleic acid). Examples of coronaviruses include the agents that cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.

Abstract. The current outbreak of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 poses unparalleled challenges to global public health. SARS-CoV-2 is a Betacoronavirus, one of four genera belonging to the Coronaviridae subfamily Orthocoronavirinae.
Distinguishing features. The members of the family Coronaviridae, a monophyletic cluster in the order Nidovirales, are enveloped, positive stranded RNA viruses of three classes of vertebrates: mammals (corona -and toroviruses), birds (coronaviruses) and fish (bafiniviruses).
