Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the manipulation of clones of coronavirus and of
complementary DNAs (cDNAs) of defective-interfering (DI) RNAs to study coronavirus RNA …

General introduction. Based on their morphological and physicochemical characteristics, the
Toroviridae were initially proposed to constitute a new family of enveloped RNA viruses …

Viruses in the families Arteriviridae and Coronaviridae have enveloped virions which
contain nonsegmented, positive-stranded RNA, but the constituent genera differ markedly in …

The Coronaviridae are a group of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses with
nonsegmented genomes of about 30,000 nucleotides. The family comprises two genera …

Ultrastructural Pathology, Second Edition is a comprehensive reference on electron
microscopy of pathologic tissue in animals and humans. Now presented in an atlas format …

We have characterized the 3'-most 3 kb of the genome of bovine torovirus (BoTV) strain
Breda. A novel 1.2-kb gene, located between the genes for the membrane and nucleocapsid …

Studies were undertaken to determine if human torovirus is associated with gastroenteritis
and to examine the clinical features of torovirus illness in children. The fecal excretion of …

Publisher Summary Toroviruses are a group of enveloped positive-stranded RNA viruses
that cause enteric, respiratory, and perhaps generalized infections in animals and humans …

Sequence analysis of the 3′ part (8 kb) of the polymerase gene of the torovirus prototype
Berne virus (BEV) revealed that this area contains at least two open reading frames …

Recent molecular analysis of the genera Torovirus and Arterivirus has posed questions for
the taxonomy of these viruses vis d vis the Coronavirus genus. Until recently the torovirus …
