Coronavirus

A type of virus that causes respiratory illnesses in humans.

Scientific: BiotechnologyInfectious Disease / Virology

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases like SARS and MERS. The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, causes the disease COVID-19. These viruses spread through respiratory droplets and can lead to symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

SARS-CoV-2

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

Scientific Acronym: BiotechnologyInfectious Disease / Virology

SARS-CoV-2 is the name of the virus that causes COVID-19. It is a type of coronavirus that was first identified in Wuhan, China, in late 2019.

COVID-19

Coronavirus Disease 2019

Scientific Acronym: HealthcareInfectious Disease / Epidemiology

COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It has spread globally and led to a pandemic.

Proteins

Large biomolecules essential for the structure and function of all living organisms.

Scientific: BiotechnologyBiochemistry / Molecular Biology

Proteins are complex molecules made up of chains of amino acids. They play crucial roles in various biological processes, including catalyzing reactions, transporting molecules, providing structural support, and regulating cellular processes.
