• Human coronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 bind to 9-O-acetylated sialic acids via a conserved receptor-binding site in spike protein domain A (2019, background): “Although generally associated with common colds, HKU1 and OC43 may cause severe and sometimes fatal pulmonary infections in the frail (7, 8), and in rare instances, OC43 may cause lethal encephalitis (9).”
• Comparative tropism, replication kinetics, and cell damage profiling of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV with implications for clinical manifestations, transmissibility, and laboratory studies of COVID-19: an observational study (2020, result): “25 Our data also provide new insights into the apparently high transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2.”
• Hosts and Sources of Endemic Human Coronaviruses (2018, background): “In particular, HCoV-OC43 has been suspected to play a role in neurological diseases such as chronic demyelinating disease and acute encephalomyelitis (Morfopoulou et al., 2016; Murray et al., 1992; Yeh et al., 2004) .”
