The Delta variant (B.1.617.2) was [3] [4] a variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It was first detected in India on 5 October 2020. The Delta variant was named on 31 May 2021 and had spread to over 179 countries by 22 November 2021. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicated in June 2021 that the Delta variant was becoming ...
Deltacoronavirus (Delta-CoV) is one of the four genera ( Alpha-, Beta-, Gamma-, and Delta-) of coronaviruses. It is in the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae of the family Coronaviridae. They are enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses. Deltacoronaviruses infect mostly birds and some mammals . While the alpha and beta genera are ...
The delta-omicron hybrid, informally dubbed "deltacron," is what's known as a recombinant virus, meaning it has melded-together genetic information from both variants.
Deltaretrovirus. Deltaretrovirus is a genus of the Retroviridae family. It consists of exogenous horizontally transmitted viruses found in several groups of mammals. As of 2023, ICTV lists under this genus the Bovine leukemia virus and three species of primate T-lymphotropic virus . The genus of viruses is known for its propensity to target ...
As the highly transmissible Delta variant spreads rapidly nationwide, the U.S. has “two weapons” to mitigate the outbreak, according to One Medical Regional Medical Director Dr. Natasha Bhuyan.
The spike protein is very large, often 1200 to 1400 amino acid residues long; [8] it is 1273 residues in SARS-CoV-2. [5] It is a single-pass transmembrane protein with a short C-terminal tail on the interior of the virus, a transmembrane helix, and a large N-terminal ectodomain exposed on the virus exterior.

Betacoronavirus (β-CoVs or Beta-CoVs) is one of four genera ( Alpha -, Beta-, Gamma-, and Delta-) of coronaviruses. Member viruses are enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses that infect mammals, including humans. The natural reservoir for betacoronaviruses are bats and rodents. Rodents are the reservoir for the subgenus Embecovirus, while bats ...
Alphacoronavirus. Alphacoronaviruses (Alpha-CoV) are members of the first of the four genera ( Alpha -, Beta-, Gamma-, and Delta-) of coronaviruses. They are positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that infect mammals, including humans. They have spherical virions with club-shaped surface projections formed by trimers of the spike protein ...
