Pathogenic Coronaviruses of Humans and Animals provides relevant information about human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, and other more common human coronaviruses that may mutate in a way that increases their virulence. The additional of animal coronaviruses allows awareness of the potential of zoonotic transmission of coronaviruses not only from wild animals such as bats and rodents, but also from domestic agricultural and companion animals that we have close contact with. The book opens with an introductory chapter with coverage of viruses, the immune system, as well as coronaviruses, their classifications, prevention, and protection. The book goes on to cover the history, disease, causative virus, immune response, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and surveillance of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. The remaining chapters discuss coronaviruses with the possible zoonotic transmission of domestic, semi-domestic animals, and companion animals. This book concludes with future perspectives of coronavirus mutations, protective measures against their zoonotic transmission, and a discussion about pandemics and infectious diseases around the globe. Key features Covers SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 as well as coronaviruses with possible zoonotic transmission of domestic, semi-domestic animals, and companion animals, Complements previous studies by bringing together information comparing human and animal coronaviruses, Includes appendices of a glossary and coronavirus disease overviews of humans and animals Book jacket.
