The taxonomy, host range and pathogenicity of coronaviruses and other viruses in the Nidovirales order

Abstract The frequent emergence of coronavirus (CoV) epidemics has seriously threatened public health and stock farming. The major hosts for CoVs are birds and mammals. Although most CoVs inhabit their specific natural hosts, some may occasionally cross the host barrier to infect livestock and even...
