Difference between Common and Novel Coronaviruses
Coronaviruses are named for the crown-like spikes on their surface. There are several coronaviruses that can infect people, and they fall into two different groups, common coronaviruses and other coronaviruses.
Common Coronaviruses
People around the world commonly get infected with human coronaviruses 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1. These viruses usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold. Most people get infected with these viruses at some point in their lives, and they usually only last for a short amount of time. Symptoms may include:
- runny nose
- headache
- cough
- sore throat
- fever
- a general feeling of being unwell
Human coronaviruses can sometimes cause lower-respiratory tract illnesses, such as pneumonia or bronchitis. This is more common in people with cardiopulmonary disease or weakened immune systems, infants, and older adults.
Other Coronaviruses
Sometimes coronaviruses that infect animals can evolve and make people sick and become a new human coronavirus. Three recent examples of this are:
- SARS-CoV is the coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. SARS was first recognized in China in November 2002 and caused a worldwide outbreak in 2002-2003 with 8,098 probable cases including 774 deaths. SARS symptoms often included fever, chills, and body aches which usually progressed to pneumonia. No human cases of SARS have been reported anywhere in the world since 2004.
- MERS-CoV is the coronavirus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS. MERS was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. It has since caused illness in people from dozens of other countries. MERS cases continue to occur, and all cases to date have been linked to countries in or near the Arabian Peninsula. MERS symptoms usually include fever, cough, and shortness of breath which often progress to pneumonia. About 3 or 4 out of every 10 patients reported with MERS have died.
- 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is the most recent coronavirus identified. On January 9, 2020, the World Health Organization reported that a novel coronavirus was identified by Chinese authorities. The virus is associated with an outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.
