We propose the term "common cold coronaviruses," or ccCoV, to describe the four human coronaviruses commonly associated with upper respiratory tract disease - coronaviruses 229E, OC43, NL63, and HKU1. This will differentiate these previously described coronaviruses from those causing more severe disease in humans - including the viruses severe acute respiraotry syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2.
我们提出“普通感冒冠状病毒”（common cold coronaviruses）或 ccCoV 这一术语，用于描述与上呼吸道疾病相关的四种常见人类冠状病毒——229E 冠状病毒、OC43 冠状病毒、NL63 冠状病毒和 HKU1 冠状病毒。这将使这些先前描述的冠状病毒与那些在人类中引起更严重疾病的冠状病毒区分开来——包括导致严重急性呼吸道综合征冠状病毒（SARS-CoV）、中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒（MERS-CoV）和 SARS-CoV-2 的病毒。
