SOME OF THE DANGEROUS VIRUSES ARE, ANH THEIR HISTORY,
SARS-COV-2, MERS-COV, EBOLA VIRUS, NIPAH VIRUS, H1N1, BIRD FLUE.
Today let's see how these viruses have ruined the world and how they got their names.
1.SARS-COV-2
Initially called 2019 novel corona virus virus responsible for covid-19 was eventually named severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus SARS-COV-2 by the (ICTV,) as it is generally related to corona virus responsible for the SARS break in 2003.
the disease caused by SARS-COV-by COV-2 is called the corona virus disease or covid-19.
2.MERS- COV,
