| T26 |
0-263 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Usually, several members of the coronavirus cause mild respiratory disease in humans; however, SARS-CoV and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) explored in 2002–2003 and in 2012, respectively, caused fatal severe respiratory diseases20–22. |
| T27 |
264-315 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV belong to the β-CoV23,24. |
| T28 |
316-440 |
Sentence |
denotes |
2019-nCoV explored in Wuhan also belongs to the β-CoV according to the phylogenetic analysis based on the viral genome10,11. |
| T29 |
441-683 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Although the nucleotide sequence similarity is less than 80% between 2019-nCoV and SARS-CoV (about 79%) or MERS-CoV (about 50%), 2019-nCoV can also cause the fetal infection and spread more faster than the two other coronaviruses7,9,11,25–27. |
| T30 |
684-945 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The genome nucleotide sequence identity between a coronavirus (BatCoV RaTG13) detected in the bat Rhinolophus affinis from Yunnan Province, China, and 2019-nCoV, was 96.2%, indicating that the natural host of 2019-nCoV may also be the Rhinolophus affinis bat11. |
| T31 |
946-1058 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, the differences may also suggest that there is an or more intermediate hosts between the bat and human. |
| T32 |
1059-1232 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A research team from the South China Agricultural University has invested more than 1 000 metagenomic samples from pangolins, and found that 70% pangolins contained β-CoV28. |
| T33 |
1233-1475 |
Sentence |
denotes |
One of the coronaviruses they isolated from the pangolins comprised a genome that was very similar with that from 2019-nCoV, and the genome sequence similarity was 99%, indicating that the pangolin may be the intermediate host of 2019-nCoV29. |
