Infection with Rhinovirus leads to hyperactivation of CCK and cascade signaling that causes the inflammatory response to virus.
Rhinovirus is the agent of the common cold.
Rhinovirus infects the mucosae of the first respiratory paths (nose) and other organs.
Rhinovirus can colonize the human intestine.
Diagnosis of Rhinovirus infection is exclusively clinic.
Coronavirus is in the Nidovirus family.
Coronavirus is an RNA with positive polarity.
Coronavirus penetrates the nucleocapsid and fuses the envelope with the plasmatic membrane.
Coronavirus is translated by the protein-synthesis apparatus of the cell.
Coronavirus transcribes the whole viral genome into antigenome used for the formation of viral progeny and complete transcription of RNA copies.
HCoV- 229E and HCoV- OC43 are different only for antigenic characters.
HCoV- OC43 shows hemoagglutination.
Coronavirus is transmitted through inhalation.
Colds are affections of respiratory airways.
Coronavirus replicates in the mucosae of the respiratory apparatus.
Reinfection with Coronavirus is possible, providing scarce protection.
Diagnosis of Coronavirus infection includes antigen specific search and nucleotidic sequence in exudate.
SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) is also called acute respiratory syndrome.
SARS is characterized by atypical pulmonitis, a severe clinical picture, and interhuman infection.
SARS- CoV, the virus that gives origin to SARS, multiplies quickly in culture.
Diagnosis of SARS includes virus search in expectorate and mucus, culture isolation, specific genomic sequences, and search of specific antigens through immunofluorescence or immunoenzymatic techniques.
MERS (middle east respiratory syndrome) is a serious respiratory disease characterized by fever, cough, respiratory problems, and high mortality.
