Coronavirus Vs Sars-Cov

Abstract This paper investigates the origins, human-to-human transmission and the physiological changes in humans due to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Research shows that these two coronaviruses are both deadly and severe their diseases are. They both have caused assorted respiratory difficulties including pneumonia, organ dysfunction, bronchitis,cough and fever, and deficiency of breath. SARS and MERS are very similar in that both their origins have been recognized as bats. Although in MERS, it is also said to have originated in both certain species of bats and camels. Unfortunately for all the diverse and extensive literature that has been made available, …show more content…
The interferons and proteins are said to be involved in preventing a virus from duplicating. Apropos, its was found to have a higher expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex or MHC class II molecules, which interact with immune cells in order to initiate an immune response. Additionally, the MERS-CoV disease produced cytokines and chemokines, which are involved in cell signaling and the movement of cells due to a chemical stimulus. Wit (2013) discovered that MERS-CoV can cause lower respiratory tract infection, which has a strong association with pneumonia and bronchitis. Pneumonia is a serious health condition affecting the air sacs or alveoli inside the lungs. Bronchitis is another serious health condition which affects the mucous membranes of the airways usually by the development of a long lasting cough and chest pain. More specifically, (Tao, 2013) examined how the MERS-CoV disease affects the bronchial epithelial Calu-3 cells. These cells are supposed help to protect the lining of the airways leading to the lungs and alveoli. It was found that it only took a day for a cytopathic effect to take place. This simply refers to the damage that has been done to the Calu-3
