继在流感病毒跨种传播机制研究中取得重大成果,并在《科学》和《柳叶刀》发文之后,中科院微生物研究所高福研究组又在新冠状病毒侵入宿主细胞机制研究中取得重要进展,研究成果于7月7日在《自然》杂志在线发表。新冠状病毒,又称中东呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒(Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus,MERS-CoV),是继SARS-CoV之后出现的又一个高致病性冠状病毒。与SARS相似,MERS-CoV感染患者可出现发烧、咳嗽和急性呼吸窘迫综 Following the great achievements made in the study of the cross-species transmission mechanism of influenza virus, and after the articles “Science” and “The Lancet” were issued, Gao Fu Research Group of the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, made important progress in the study of host coronavirus invasion mechanism , The research results published in the “Nature” magazine on July 7. The new coronavirus, also known as the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), is another highly pathogenic coronavirus following SARS-CoV. Similar to SARS, patients with MERS-CoV infection may have fever, cough, and acute respiratory distress syndrome
