Micro 47: Coronaviruses and Noroviruses
This episode examines two clinically distinct but epidemiologically powerful viral groups: coronaviruses and noroviruses. Drawing from Murray’s Chapter 47, it explores how structural features drive transmission patterns.
The first half focuses on coronaviruses, enveloped positive-sense RNA viruses characterised by crown-like spike glycoproteins. These spikes mediate attachment to host receptors and determine tissue tropism. Human coronaviruses range from mild upper respiratory pathogens to agents of severe lower respiratory disease. The episode discusses replication within respiratory…
