The first scientist to discover the crown: June Almeida
It was June Almeida, the daughter of a Scottish bus driver, who discovered the first coronavirus transmitted to man. Virologist Dr. Almeida virus was discovered in Saint Petersburg in 1964. Thomas detected it in the hospital laboratory.

WALL – The person who discovered the first corona virus transmitted to man was the scientist June Almeida.
Covid-19 is a new disease, but Dr. Saint Petersburg from Almeida in 1964 in London. A new variant of the coronavirus detected in the Thomas Hospital laboratory.
After her first invention, June Almeida continued to pioneer virus imaging. With the advent of the new coronavirus, Almeida virus studies have once again become the focus of research.
June Hurt was born in 1930 and grew up in Alexandra Park, northeast of Glasgow. He left school with a very limited education, but got a job as a laboratory technician in the histopathology department at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. She then moved to London to advance her career and married the Venezuelan painter Enriques Almeida in 1954.
THE UNITED KINGDOM RECEIVES THE COUNTRY
Virologist June Almeida moved to Toronto, Canada after marriage. Thanks to the Ontario Cancer Institute electron microscope here, he deepened his knowledge of viruses. He pioneered a method that used antibodies to better visualize viruses in groups.
According to the Turkish BBC report, June Almeida’s abilities were recognized in the UK and he retired to work at St Thomas Medical School in 1964. He was also treated here when Prime Minister Boris Johnson was caught in Covid-19 .
On his return, he investigated in the cold unit at Salisbury. He began working with David Tyrrell. Dr. I was studying the volunteer Tyrrell nose washes. In these studies, they were able to eliminate several common viruses associated with the common cold.
An example, especially known as B814, was taken from a student’s nosewash at a boarding school in Surrey in 1960.
They found that they could transmit cold symptoms to volunteers but that they could not grow in routine cell culture. However, voluntary studies have shown that the growth of symptoms is in organ culture. Tyrrell wondered if this could be seen through an electron microscope.
They sent samples to June Almeida, who took the virus particles as samples, and he described them as the flu virus, although not exactly the same. Almeida also detected the virus known as the “first human corona virus”.
June Almeida died at the age of 77 in 2007.
ARTICLE RELATED TO REJECTED VIRUSES
Medical writer George Winter, Dr. He says that Almeida has seen such particles before examining mouse hepatitis and chicken infectious bronchitis.
However, Winter explained that Almeida’s article was rejected by a magazine that was reviewed by his academic colleagues, because his colleagues, who examined him, said the images they produced were just bad images of flu virus particles.
The new discovery of the B814 invention was written in the British Medical Journal in 1965, and the first photos of what it saw were published in the General Virology Journal two years later.
According to Winter, those who called it the crown virus along with Professor Tony Waterson, who was at the forefront of Saint Thomas, Tyrrell, and Dr. Fue Almedia. The reason for this name was the image of a crown or halo at the top of the virus image. Dr. Almeida then worked at the London Graduate School of Medicine, where he received his doctorate.
He finished his career at the Wellcome Institute, which adorns his name with several patents in the field of imaging viruses. June Almeida died at the age of 77 in 2007.
Now, 13 years after his death, he sees the value he deserves with his pioneering work on the virus that has spread rapidly in today’s world.

Research: the virus can also be transmitted outdoors
A study in the Netherlands and Belgium revealed that 1.5 meters of social distance does not protect against the crown virus during outdoor sports activities, such as jogging, walking and cycling. The researchers recommended a distance of at least 4-5 meters when walking outdoors and at least 10-20 meters when biking or jogging.
Joint vaccination study of METU, Bilkent and Hacettepe
Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at METU, who collaborated with Bilkent and Hacettepe for the coronavirus vaccine. Dr. Mayda Gürsel: The mutation rate in the coronavirus is lower than influenza. This strengthens our hopes for a permanent vaccine.
Supermarket research: virus can stay in the air for a few minutes
The secret of how the new corona virus, which caused the global epidemic, can be transmitted, even during a brief supermarket purchase. A supermarket environment model in Finland was removed; It turned out that the virus, which is spread by a sick person’s cough, sneeze, or speech, can stay in the air for a few minutes.
Evolution of the coronavirus from bats to human lungs
The new corona virus is a difficult killer to understand. Since people have never seen this aspect before, there are many things that protect its mystery. “Almost the entire scientific field is now focused on this virus,” said Kristian Andersen, professor of immunology and microbiology at the Scripps Research Institute. We are talking about a war situation. “
Decryption: How does the virus spread so fast?
A study in the United States deciphered how the new type of coronavirus is so contagious. According to the study, the ‘outstanding’ protein of the new virus that binds to the human cell is four times stronger than in the SARS virus. Therefore, even exposure to a small amount of the virus can lead to infection.
