Abstract
Human coronaviruses (HCoVs) were first described in the 1960s for patients with the common cold. Since then, more HCoVs have been discovered, including those that cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), two pathogens that, upon infection, can cause fatal respiratory disease in humans. It was recently discovered that dromedary camels in Saudi Arabia harbor three different HCoV species, including a dominant MERS HCoV lineage that was responsible for the outbreaks in the Middle East and South Korea during 2015. In this review we aim to compare and contrast the different HCoVs with regard to epidemiology and pathogenesis, in addition to the virus evolution and recombination events which have, on occasion, resulted in outbreaks amongst humans.

<abstract id="abs0005"><p>Human coronaviruses (HCoVs) were first described in the 1960s for patients with the common cold. Since then, more HCoVs have been discovered, including those that cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), two pathogens that, upon infection, can cause fatal respiratory disease in humans. It was recently discovered that dromedary camels in Saudi Arabia harbor three different HCoV species, including a dominant MERS HCoV lineage that was responsible for the outbreaks in the Middle East and South Korea during 2015. In this review we aim to compare and contrast the different HCoVs with regard to epidemiology and pathogenesis, in addition to the virus evolution and recombination events which have, on occasion, resulted in outbreaks amongst humans.</p>

<body><sec id="sec0005"><title>A Brief Introduction to Human and Animal Coronaviruses</title>
<p id="par0005">Coronaviruses (CoVs), of the family Coronaviridae, are enveloped viruses with a single-strand, positive-sense RNA genome approximately 26–32 kilobases in size, which is the largest known genome for an RNA virus <xref rid="bib0005" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref>
. The term ‘coronavirus’ refers to the appearance of CoV virions when observed under electron microscopy, in which spike projections from the virus membrane give the semblance of a crown, or <italic>corona</italic>
in Latin <xref rid="bib0010" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
, <xref rid="bib0015" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
. All coronaviruses share similarities in the organization and expression of their genome, in which 16 nonstructural proteins (nsp1 through nsp16), encoded by open reading frame (ORF) 1a/b at the 5′ end, are followed by the structural proteins spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M), and nucleocapsid (N), which are encoded by other ORFs at the 3′ end. CoVs are separated into four genera based on phylogeny: alpha-CoV (group 1), beta-CoV (group 2), gamma-CoV (group 3) and delta-CoV (group 4) (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://ictvonline.org/proposals/2008.085-122%20V.v4.Coronaviridae.pdf" id="intr0005">http://ictvonline.org/proposals/2008.085-122 V.v4.Coronaviridae.pdf</ext-link>
). Within the beta-CoV genus, four lineages (A, B, C, and D) are recognized. Distinct from other beta-CoV lineages, lineage A viruses also encode a smaller protein called hemagglutinin esterase (HE), which is functionally similar to the S protein <xref rid="bib0020" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>
.</p>
<p id="par0010">Since the early 1970s, a variety of pathological conditions in domestic animals have been attributed to CoV infections <xref rid="bib0025" ref-type="bibr">[5]</xref>
. With the exception of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), which causes avian infectious bronchitis in chickens <xref rid="bib0030" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>
, canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV), which causes respiratory disease in dogs <xref rid="bib0035" ref-type="bibr">[7]</xref>
, and mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), which can cause a progressive demyelinating encephalitis in mice <xref rid="bib0015" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
, <xref rid="bib0040" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
, other CoV infections typically result in gastrointestinal symptoms. For instance, transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV) <xref rid="bib0045" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
, <xref rid="bib0050" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
, bovine coronavirus (BCV) <xref rid="bib0055" ref-type="bibr">[11]</xref>
, feline coronavirus (FCoV) <xref rid="bib0060" ref-type="bibr">[12]</xref>
, canine coronavirus (CCoV) <xref rid="bib0065" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>
, and turkey coronavirus (TCV) <xref rid="bib0070" ref-type="bibr">[14]</xref>
are known to cause enteritis in their respective hosts <xref rid="bib0005" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref>
.</p>
<p id="par0015">In humans, CoV infections primarily involve the upper respiratory tract and the gastrointestinal tract, and vary from mild, self-limiting disease, such as the common cold, to more severe manifestations, such as bronchitis and pneumonia with renal involvement <xref rid="bib0075" ref-type="bibr">[15]</xref>
. The first human coronavirus (HCoV) was isolated during 1965 from the nasal discharge of patients with the common cold and termed B814 <xref rid="bib0080" ref-type="bibr">[16]</xref>
. Currently, six different CoV strains are known to infect humans. These include: HCoV-229E (229E), HCoV-OC43 (OC43), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), HCoV-NL63 (NL63), HCoV-HKU1 (HKU1), and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) <xref rid="bib0085" ref-type="bibr">[17]</xref>
. 229E and OC43 are the prototype viruses from the two main HCoV lineages (Alpha and Beta, respectively) that cause 15–29% of all common colds, and are the best characterized <xref rid="bib0090" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>
. SARS-CoV is the aetiological agent that was behind an outbreak of severe respiratory disease through China during 2002–2003 <xref rid="bib0095" ref-type="bibr">[19]</xref>
, and MERS-CoV is the pathogen responsible for an ongoing outbreak of severe respiratory disease centered in the Middle East since 2012 <xref rid="bib0100" ref-type="bibr">[20]</xref>
. In this review, we first compare and contrast the epidemiology and pathogenesis of the known CoVs infecting humans, in which CoVs that cause mild to severe disease in humans are newly emerged from a zoonotic source. Second, we describe the ecology of CoVs, and highlight evidence for viral recombination between the different CoVs within animal populations, which may result in the generation of novel CoVs that are transmissible and lethal to humans. Finally, we summarize the phylogeny, evolution, and genetic recombination of CoVs in detail.</p>

. 229E was adapted to grow in WI-38 lung fibroblast cell lines, and was later shown to be morphologically identical to IBV and MHV <xref rid="bib0120" ref-type="bibr">[24]</xref>
. Symptoms of 229E infection include general malaise, headache, nasal discharge, sneezing, and a sore throat <xref rid="bib0125" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>
. A small portion of patients (10–20%) will also exhibit fever and cough. The incubation time is approximately 2–5 days, followed by illness lasting between 2 and 18 days, and clinically indistinguishable from respiratory tract infections caused by other pathogens, such as rhinovirus and influenza A <xref rid="bib0090" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>
. 229E is distributed globally (<xref rid="fig0005" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>

However, in the case of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, the viruses are not as well adapted to being maintained in humans, and thus are likely spread mainly in zoonotic reservoir(s), with occasional spillover into the susceptible human population, possibly via an intermediate host species.<fig id="fig0010"><label>Figure 2</label>

. Subsequent studies have shown that wild horseshoe bats (Rhinolophidae family), which can also be found in LAM in China and served in some Chinese restaurants in Guangdong, China, have detectable levels of antibodies against SARS-CoV and a SARS-CoV-like virus (SARSr-Rh-Bat CoV) <xref rid="bib0245" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>

Lineage B includes SARS-CoV, SARS-like viruses of bat and palm civet origin, and some bat-derived CoVs. Lineage C includes MERS-CoV and some bat-derived viruses. Lineage D contains only bat-derived coronavirus (<xref rid="fig0015" ref-type="fig">Figure 3</xref>

<p id="par0100">The major reason for recombination may be at the replication step in the virus life cycle.

. Concurrently, circulating CoVs in multiple host species likely contribute to increases in the rate of recombination events. However, the exact mechanism of genetic recombination in CoVs remains unclear: recombination site ‘breakpoints’ in the viral genome – the crossing point of the recombinant genes between two distinct viral strains or genotypes – appear to be random, as different recombinant strains have different breakpoints.</p>

<p id="par0140">The result from a high frequency of recombination events in CoVs is the generation of novel viruses with a high genetic diversity, with unpredictable changes in virulence during human infections. With multiple species of CoVs circulating in the wild amongst different animal species that may constantly interact with one another, it is likely not a matter of if, but when, the next recombinant CoV will emerge and cause another outbreak in the human population. As such, some crucial future areas of investigation include: (i) the prevalence of HCoVs already circulating within the animal population, (ii) the commonality of coronavirus recombination in animals, (iii) animals which may potentially serve as mixing vessels for the generation of novel recombinant CoVs, and (iv) a surveillance network to monitor and predict the potential emergence of a highly virulent, recombinant CoV from animals (see Outstanding Questions). Furthermore, lessons from the SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV outbreaks must be urgently learned in advance to effectively prepare for the next CoV outbreak.<boxed-text id="tb0005"><label>Outstanding Questions</label>
