Analysis of differences between SARS-CoV-2 and SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) from multiple perspectives

ABSTRACT

Novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) grows with each passing day worldwide, and the number of infections is increasing. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, belongs to coronavirus, which is the same as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in 2003. In this study, we analyzed and discussed the differences between coronaviruses of COVID-19 and SARS, as well as the intermediate hosts of the two coronaviruses, in order to provide a reference for the prevention and control of viral diseases from the perspective of wild animals, and also for the transmission of coronavirus.
