Coronaviruses are a group of common viruses named for the spikes that crown the surface of the virus. Some coronaviruses are only found in animals, while others can be transmitted from animals to humans. The 2019 Novel Coronavirus is believed to be initally passed from animals to humans, but is now transmitting human-to-human. Source: https://medlineplus.gov/coronavirusinfections.html
This is a 3D medical illustration of 2019 Novel Coronavirus, derived from a CDC released image. It explains the ultrastructural morphology. This virus has four surface proteins E,S,M & HE labelled in the image. The S protein gives the crown-like appearance, for which the virus is named. The cross-section shows the inner components of the virus. Source: Wikimedia Commons
