The novel coronavirus is a β-genus coronavirus. Its internal structure is a single strand of positive-strand RNA virus. It has an envelope on the surface and protrudes on the outside of the envelope.
Its envelope can be round or oval, and its shape is pleomorphic. Because the virus has protrusions on the surface, it looks like a crown, so it is called the new coronavirus.
The diameter of the entire virus is 40-160nm. There are three types of surface proteins of the virus, namely S protein, and also small-encapsular glycoprotein and membrane glycoprotein. This small-encapsular glycoprotein is called E protein, membrane protein is called M protein, and a few types also include hemagglutinin glycoprotein, also called HE protein.
S protein is used to bind to the surface receptors of the host cell, and fuses with the envelope of the conduction virus with the envelope of human cells. The M protein participates in the formation and budding of virus envelope . The HE protein is the short protrusion that constitutes the envelope, which is related to the early adsorption of the virus.
The difference between cold symptoms and novel coronavirus pneumonia
First, cold patients are very rare in fever, while novel coronavirus pneumonia is very common, often mainly low fever, and high fever occurs after progressive aggravation in 3-5 days.
Second, headaches in patients with colds are very rare, while headaches in patients with new coronary pneumonia are more common, and mild systemic pain in patients with colds is very common in patients with new coronary pneumonia.
Fourth, other symptoms include common colds and nasal congestion, while new coronary pneumonia is rare. Sneezing and sore throats in patients with colds are common, while new pneumonia is rare, so clinical symptoms should be identified according to the specific situation.
Automatic reports of new coronavirus infection: Although the disease has been cured, it is troubled by "sewages".
