TL;DR: Real-time RT-PCR results of all respiratory and faecal samples from patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai, China, throughout the course of their illness and obligated quarantine period show associations that should be interpreted with caution because of the possibility of confounding.

TL;DR: Molecular investigation indicated that bats in Saudi Arabia are infected with several alphacoronaviruses and betacor onavirus, and virus from 1 bat showed 100% nucleotide identity to virus from the human index case-patient.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided from a geographic and temporal survey of camels in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that MERS coronaviruses have been circulating in camels since at least 1992, are distributed countrywide, and can be phylogenetically classified into clades that correlate with outbreaks of the disease among humans.

TL;DR: The development of a virome capture sequencing platform for vertebrate viruses (VirCapSeq-VERT) that increases the sensitivity of sequence-based virus detection and characterization and is ideally suited for analyses of virome composition and dynamics.

TL;DR: A versatile serology-based approach is used to determine the natural host of the only known nonprimate hepacivirus (NPHV), CHV, which is also the closest phylogenetic relative of HCV, and suggest a promising new nonPRimate animal model.
