The coronaviruses are a family of viruses that includes a series of very different pathogens. These viruses usually infect mammals, rodents, and birds, but only few coronaviruses adapted to humans. They did this with great success: About one third of all typical "common colds" and some cases of diarrhoea as well are caused by these RNA Viruses, which are the largest of their kind. We have compiled more information about the coronaviruses for you.
The HZI is taking part in Future Day 2024 for girls and boys on 25.04.2024. We would like to show pupils in grades 5-9 for one morning how exciting the work of our centre is in laboratories and offices. Further Information here.
