SARS Coronavirus Replication Cycle

ssRNA: SARS Coronavirus offers a detailed illustration of the known replication strategy of SARS Coronavirus inside an infected cell. The Coronaviridae is a family of viruses that infect a wide range of mammals and birds worldwide. Until recently most diseases caused by human Coronaviruses were mild and the symptoms were limited to a common cold. In 2003, an outbreak of a novel disease, SARS, was shown to be caused by a new coronavirus now known as SARS-Coronavirus. This outbreak generated renewed interest in coronaviruses and the diseases they cause.
