A recent outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, is associated with Betacoronavirus of group 2B from family Coronaviridae and the order Nidovirales [1] [2]. The viruses are positive-sense RNA, enveloped and non-segmented [2]. This coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is known as a third human zoonosis of the 21st century and is caused by a new strain not previously identified in humans [1]. The coronaviruses causing minor infections of the respiratory tract in humans are NL63, OC43, hCoV-229E, and HKU1 while, the lethal coronavirus infections that emerged in this century are the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the recent SARS-CoV 2 or COVID-19 [2]. The source of the COVID-19 is still not confirmed but some evidence suggests that the source may be in the seafood market of Huanan in Wuhan, China [3] [4]. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the recent COVID-19 is caused by Betacoronavirus just like the previous two outbreaks of coronaviruses; MERS and SARS, the source of which is camels and bats, respectively [5]. The first transmission of CoV from animals to humans was notified in 2002 causing SARS-CoV with a 10% mortality rate [6]. It was suggested that the virus needs some intermediate reservoir to infect humans efficiently as confirmed later by a thorough investigation revealing palm civets and raccoon dogs of the wet market carried SARS-CoV viral RNA and might act like intermediate reservoirs [3].
