Abstract

The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses first established the order Nidovirales in 1996. Initially, the order contained only two viral families, Coronaviridae and Arteriviridae. Since the emergence of the human severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV) responsible for the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in the spring of 2003, coronaviruses became more recognized and generated significant interest among researchers. Coronaviruses are spherical, enveloped virions with large club-shaped surface projections (peplomers) extending from the viral envelope. SARS-CoV-2 disease in hamsters is associated with high levels of virus replication and some of the histopathological changes similar to COVID-19 in humans (e.g., ground-glass opacities). ToVs have recently been classified into the new subfamily Torovirinae within the family Tobaniviridae in the suborder Tornidovirineae. ToVs are associated with enteric diseases in animals and humans, and they are recognized as pathogens of veterinary and medical importance.
