Detection of the Coronavirus

Abstract

Corona is a single stranded RNA virus contains two subfamilies: Coronavirinae and Torovirinae. Its genome size is very larger and divided into four different strains. First autopsy material is collected from the lung tissue for the detection. The sample then stored in a sterile container at 2-8°C. The samples should be the properly labeled. Birthdate, medical record and name of patient must be mentioned. The initial cases were observed in China, Wuhan. The data collected by WHO from the patient’s admitted in ICU. On the basis of their genetic sequence, detection is done by the antibodies. Lateral immune-flow assay can detect the IgG and IgM antibodies. RT-PCR assays can detect the virus by specific primer and probe designing. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) can be detected by real time PCR. X-ray Crystallography and Computed Tomography can be used for this purpose. Different X-rays analysis like inception, Xception and ResNeXt net are proposed for the detection.
