Reading
In December 2019, there was a cluster of pneumonia(肺炎) cases in China. Investigations found that it was caused by a previously unknown virus-now named the 2019 Novel Coronavirus. In this text, we’ll take a quick look at what’s currently known about the virus.
Keep in mind(记住) that this is a new virus and what’s known about the virus now might change in the future.
Coronaviruses(冠状病毒) are a large group of viruses. They consist of a core of genetic material（遗传物质）surrounded by an envelope with protein spikes(蛋白棘突). This gives it the appearance of a crown. Crown in Latin is called “corona”and that’s how these viruses get their name.
There are different types of coronaviruses that cause respiratory(呼吸的) and sometimes gastrointestinal(胃肠的) symptoms. Respiratory disease can range from the common cold to pneumonia(肺炎). And in most people, the symptoms tend to be mild. However, there are some types of coronaviruses that can cause severe disease. These include the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS即严重急性呼吸综合征，俗称“非典”) coronavirus first identified in China in 2003 and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS中东呼吸综合征) coronavirus that was first identified in Saudi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯) in 2012.
The 2019 Novel Coronavirus was first identified in China. It initially occurred in a group of people with pneumonia(肺炎) who’d been associated with a seafood and live animal market in the city of Wuhan. The disease has since spread from those who were sick to others, including family members and health care staff(员工；全体职
员). There are many cases at present and the disease has spread within China and also to a number of other countries.
So, where did the virus come from?
It’s known that coronaviruses(冠状病毒) circulate in a range of animals. Sometimes these viruses can make the jump from animals to humans. This is called a spillover and could be due to a range of factors such as mutations(变异) in the virus or increased contact between humans and animals. For example, MERS-CoV is known to be transmitted from camels and SARS-CoV, from civet cats(果子狸). The animal reservoir of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus is not known yet.
