TL;DR: Identification and characterization of a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which caused an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans in Wuhan, China, and it is shown that this virus belongs to the species of SARSr-CoV, indicates that the virus is related to a bat coronav virus.

TL;DR: The identification and characterization of a novel coronavirus (nCoV-2019) which caused an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans, in Wuhan, China, and it is confirmed that this novel CoV uses the same cell entry receptor, ACE2, as SARS-CoV.

TL;DR: Analysis of viral samples from deceased piglets shows that a bat coronav virus was responsible for an outbreak of fatal disease in China and highlights the importance of the identification of coronavirus diversity and distribution in bats in order to mitigate future outbreaks of disease.

TL;DR: The first genome isolation of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in Kenya is described, and Phylogenetic analysis of whole genome sequences showed that Kenyan MERS- coV clustered within sub-clade C2, which is associated with the African clade, but did not contain signature deletions of orf4b in African viruses.
