Keywords: smell, olfactory bulb, coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, infections, virulence, host pathogen interactions THE SNIFFING OUT OF CORONAVIRUSES Named after their crown-like spikes, coronaviruses are large non-segmented single-stranded positive-sense enveloped RNA viruses that may spill out from animals to infect humans and cause respiratory diseases.
