For all the mysteries that remain about the novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease it causes, scientists have generated an incredible amount of fine-grained knowledge in a surprisingly short time.

In this infographic, we take a closer look at different testing methods. Dr Erik Procko has been working on engineering a "decoy" receptor for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that has caused the COVID-19 global ...

They’d threatened to before—in 2002–03, the SARS virus infected 8,000 people in more than two dozen countries and killed almost 800—and they checked off several specific boxes that emerging infectious ...

But to some, the coronavirus outbreak is reminiscent of epidemics that have caused a panic in recent memory, including SARS, MERS, the Zika virus, and swine flu. So how exactly does the ...

Shan-Lu Liu of The Ohio State University and colleagues set out to see if this cell-to-cell transmission occurs in SARS-CoV-2. Engineering pseudotyped virus genomes to include spike protein and ...

There was a second, much smaller outbreak of SARS in 2004, linked to a medical lab in China. It probably occurred as a result of direct contact with the virus, rather than being transmitted from ...
