Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus is the so far only species of the subgenus Sarbecovirus of the genus Betacoronavirus in the family of Coronaviridae . Common abbreviations like "SARSr-CoV" English SARS-related coronavirus (es) or dt. "SARS-associated (s) corona virus / viruses" are (from the species name derived so-called "generic terms" English collective names ).
The species was ratified by the ICTV in 2009 and combined the former species Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and a new group of similar viruses, called Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related bat coronavirus, to form the new species. The best-known representatives of this species are SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 , which cause the diseases SARS and COVID-19 .
Surname
By 2009, the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus species existed , which contained viruses associated with the 2003 SARS outbreak and a number of virtually identical virus isolates from animals. It was proposed to add other more distantly related, newly discovered bat viruses (29 in number) to the species that had large genetic similarities (up to 97% in key areas) to the viruses of the previous species. Among them were z. B. SARS-Rh- BatCoV HKU3, SARSr-Rh- BatCoV and SARSr-Rh- BatCoV 273.
Then the species Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus was combined with the group of new, very similar bat viruses , called Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related bat coronavirus or “SARS-related Rhinolophus BatCoV”, and the new species Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus was formed . As part of this, the new subfamily Coronavirinae was formed in the family Coronaviridae , and from the previous genus Coronavirus the new genera Alpha- to Gammacoronavirus (from the previous phylogroups 1 to 3 of the previous genus).
The ICTV rules for virus taxonomy stipulate that species names should not be abbreviated or translated into other languages. Therefore, the common abbreviations such as “SARSr-CoV (s)” and “SARS-related coronavirus (es)” are not (internationally official) alternative names for the species, but permissible, common collective names for individual or all viruses in this species.
