The full form of Covid-19 is “Co-Corona, vi- virus and d- disease”. The Covid-19 is also named as 2019-nCoV because of it was firstly identified at the end of 2019. The coronavirus are the group of various types of viruses i.e. some have positive-sense, single stranded RNA and they are covered within the envelope made up of protein. Still now days seven human coronaviruses are identified are Nl 63, 229E, OC43, HKU1, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and latest Covid-19 also known as SARS-CoV-2. From above all, the SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV causes the highest outbreak but the outbreak of Covid-19 is much more than the other any virus.

ABSTRACT Coronaviridae is a family of enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses. 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. Coronaviruses are a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, these viruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses include some cases of the common cold (which is also caused by other viruses, predominantly rhinoviruses), while more lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.

  • Coronavirus: Detailed Taxonomy
    Coronavirus: Detailed taxonomy Coronaviruses are in the realm: Riboviria; phylum: Incertae sedis; and order: Nidovirales. The Coronaviridae family gets its name, in part, because the virus surface is surrounded by a ring of projections that appear like a solar corona when viewed through an electron microscope. Taxonomically, the main Coronaviridae subfamily – Orthocoronavirinae – is subdivided into alpha (formerly referred to as type 1 or phylogroup 1), beta (formerly referred to as type 2 or phylogroup 2), delta, and gamma coronavirus genera. Using molecular clock analysis, investigators have estimated the most common ancestor of all coronaviruses appeared in about 8,100 BC, and those of alphacoronavirus, betacoronavirus, gammacoronavirus, and deltacoronavirus appeared in approximately 2,400 BC, 3,300 BC, 2,800 BC, and 3,000 BC, respectively. These investigators posit that bats and birds are ideal hosts for the coronavirus gene source, bats for alphacoronavirus and betacoronavirus, and birds for gammacoronavirus and deltacoronavirus. Coronaviruses are usually associated with enteric or respiratory diseases in their hosts, although hepatic, neurologic, and other organ systems may be affected with certain coronaviruses. Genomic and amino acid sequence phylogenetic trees do not offer clear lines of demarcation among corona virus genus, lineage (subgroup), host, and organ system affected by disease, so information is provided below in rough descending order of the phylogenetic length of the reported genome.

  • A Tool for Hierarchical Clustering, Core Gene Detection and Annotation of (Prokaryotic) Viruses Cristina Moraru

The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder. All rights reserved. No reuse allowed without permission. VirClust – a tool for hierarchical clustering, core gene detection and annotation of (prokaryotic) viruses Cristina Moraru Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment, Carl-von-Ossietzky –Str. 9 -11, D-26111 Oldenburg, Germany; [email protected] Abstract Recent years have seen major changes in the classification criteria and taxonomy of viruses. The current classification scheme, also called “megataxonomy of viruses”, recognizes five different viral realms, defined based on the presence of viral hallmark genes. Within the realms, viruses are classified into hierarchical taxons, ideally defined by their shared genes. Therefore, there is currently a need for virus classification tools based on such shared genes / proteins. Here, VirClust is presented – a novel tool capable of performing i) hierarchical clustering of viruses based on intergenomic distances calculated from their protein cluster content, ii) identification of core proteins and iii) annotation of viral proteins. VirClust groups proteins into clusters both based on BLASTP sequence similarity, which identifies more related proteins, and also based on hidden markow models (HMM), which identifies more distantly related proteins. Furthermore, VirClust provides an integrated visualization of the hierarchical clustering tree and of the distribution of the protein content, which allows the identification of the genomic features responsible for the respective clustering. By using different intergenomic distances, the hierarchical trees produced by VirClust can be split into viral genome clusters of different taxonomic ranks.

  • Phylogeny of the COVID-19 Virus SARS-Cov-2 by Compression

The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted bioRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. It is made available under aCC-BY 4.0 International license. 1 Phylogeny of the COVID-19 Virus SARS-CoV-2 by Compression Rudi L. Cilibrasi Paul M.B. Vitanyi´ Abstract We analyze the phylogeny and taxonomy of the SARS-CoV-2 virus using compression. This is a new alignment-free method called the “normalized compression distance” (NCD) method. It discovers all effective similarities based on Kolmogorov complexity. The latter being incomputable we approximate it by a good compressor such as the modern zpaq. The results comprise that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is closest to the RaTG13 virus and similar to two bat SARS-like coronaviruses bat-SL-CoVZXC21 and bat-SL-CoVZC4. The similarity is quantified and compared with the same quantified similarities among the mtDNA of certain species. We treat the question whether Pangolins are involved in the SARS-CoV-2 virus. I. INTRODUCTION In the 2019 and 2020 pandemic of the COVID-19 illness many studies use essentially two methods, alignment-based phylogenetic analyses e.g. [19], and an alignment-free machine learning approach [23]. These pointed to the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes the COVID-19 pandemic as being from bats. It is thought to belong to lineage B (Sarbecovirus) of Betacoronavirus. From phylogenetic analysis and genome organization it was identified as a SARS-like coronavirus, and to have the highest similarity to the SARS bat coronavirus RaTG13 [19] and similar to two bat SARS-like coronaviruses bat-SL-CoVZXC21 and bat- SL-CoVZC45.

Notably, hRSV infections can give way to pneumonia and predispose to other respiratory complications later in life, such as asthma. Even though the social and economic burden associated with hRSV infections is tremendous, there are no approved vaccines to date to prevent the disease caused by this pathogen. Recently, coinfections and superinfections have turned into an active field of study, and interactions between many viral and bacterial pathogens have been studied. hRSV is not an exception since polymicrobial infections involving this virus are common, especially when illness has evolved into pneumonia. Here, we review the epidemiology and recent findings regarding the main polymicrobial infections involving hRSV and several prevalent bacterial and viral respiratory pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Streptococcus pneumoniae Haemophilus influenzae Moraxella catarrhalis Kleb- Citation: Pacheco, G.A.; Gálvez, N.M.S.; , , , , Soto, J.A.; Andrade, C.A.; Kalergis, A.M.
