TL;DR: In spite of the significant progress in studying coronaviruses structural and functional properties, there is an urgent need to understand the coronavirus evolutionary success that will be helpful to develop enhanced control strategies.

TL;DR: This advanced AI algorithm-implemented LAMP (ai-LAMP) assay, targeting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene, showed high analytical sensitivity and specificity for SARS-CoV-2 and was shown to be reliable, highly specific and significantly more sensitive than the current gold standard qRT-PCR.

TL;DR: This review aims to explore the bat IFN system and developments in its diverse IFN features, focusing mainly on the model species, the Australian black flying fox, while also highlighting bat innate immunity as an exciting and fruitful area of research to understand their ability to control viral-mediated pathogenesis.

TL;DR: This work structurally and genetically analysed the interaction between the spike protein, with a particular focus on receptor binding domains (RBDs), of SARS-CoV-2 and its receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) for all conceivably susceptible groups of animals to gauge the structural bases of the Sars-Cov-2 host spectrum.

TL;DR: A de novo, high-resolution and comparative genomics guided reverse-transcribed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay, targeting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene, showed high analytical sensitivity and specificity for SARS-CoV-2.
