Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) is a species of coronavirus which infects humans and bats.[1] It is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus which enters its host cell by binding to the APN receptor.[2] Along with Human coronavirus OC43 (a member of the Betacoronavirus genus), it is one of the viruses responsible for the common cold.[3][4] HCoV-229E is a member of the genus Alphacoronavirus and subgenus Duvinacovirus.[5][6]
Transmission
HCoV-229E transmits via droplet-respiration and fomites.
Signs and symptoms
HCoV-229E is associated with a range of
Epidemiology
HCoV-229E is one of the seven human coronaviruses which include HCoV-NL63, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1,
Virology
HCoV-229E is one of seven known coronaviruses to infect humans. The other six are:[17]
- Human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63)
- Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43)
- Human coronavirus HKU1 (HCoV-HKU1)
- Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV)
- Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-1)
- Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
Research
This section is missing information about alpaca virus relative, also derived from bat.(October 2021) |
Chloroquine, a zinc ionophore, inhibits the replication of Human coronavirus 229E in cell culture.[18]
Human HCoV-229E, and human HCoV-NL63, likely originated from bats.[19]
History
A researcher at the University of Chicago, Dorothy Hamre, first identified 229E in 1965.[20][21]
