(A) Location of merbecoviruses within the coronavirus family. Only the nine coronaviruses known to cause disease in humans are shown, with genera split by colour: Alphacoronavirus (blue), Betacoronavirus (pink), and Deltacoronavirus (green). Subgenera within Betacoronavirus are also shown. Four of these nine viruses cause the common cold (HCoV-229E, HcoV-NL63, HcoV-OC43, and HcoV-HKU1), while three cause severe pneumonia (SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV).
