Sars-Cov-2はcoronavirus＝コロナウイルスの一種です。Coronavirus名前の由来はOxfordのオンライン辞書「Lexico」に、「1960s from corona + virus (with reference to the appearance of the virus, reminiscent of the solar corona, when studied through an electron microscope)」という説明があります。電子顕微鏡で観察すると、コロナウイルスは太陽コロナに似ていることから、このように名付けられたということです。英語で「corona」は「光冠、光環」を意味します。

ところで、今回の新型コロナウイルス発見以前に分かっていたコロナウイルスは全部で6種類です。そのうち4種類は風邪を引き起こすウイルスで、2種類は2002年～2004年のSARSを引き起こしたウイルスと2012年に報告されたMERSの原因であるウイルスです。[efn_note] https://www.niid.go.jp/niid/ja/kansennohanashi/9303-coronavirus.html[/efn_note]

コロナウイルスの形は球形で、表面には突起が見られます。突起は英語でspikeと言います。突起はヒト細胞側の受容体と結合し、これを足場として細胞の中に入り込むことで一連の感染過程が始まります。この説明を英語で読もうと思ったら無料で読めるオンライン記事はたくさんありますが、分かりやすい記事の一例はこれです。

検査

現在使われている新型コロナウイルス感染症の検査は、PCR検査、抗原検査、抗体検査の3種類です。

PCR検査：新型コロナウイルスに固有の遺伝子を見つける検査です。検体には鼻・喉の奥から拭い取った粘液、唾液を用います。現在感染しているかどうかを調べます。

抗原検査：PCR検査と同様に、鼻・喉の粘液、唾液などを検体とし、ウイルスのタンパク質である抗原を検出します。現在感染しているかどうかを調べます。簡便な検査キットが最近開発され、30分程度の短時間で判定できるというメリットがあります。抗原は、ウイルスや細菌などの表面に存在し、生体に免疫応答を引き起こす物質です。抗原は、抗体（体内に入った抗原を排除するために作られるタンパク質）が異物を認識して破壊するための標的となる物質です。ちなみに、インフルエンザの検査も抗原検査です。

抗体検査：過去に感染したかどうかが分かります。抗体は体の中に侵入してきた病原体などに対応するために、免疫反応によって生体内で作られるタンパク質です。発症後数週間後くらいから抗体を検出できると言われています。抗体検査が陽性であれば、過去に「感染した」と言えます。
