Summary

In December of 2019, the first reports came from Wuhan, China of a new respiratory infection that was causing serious illness. The cases were initially associated with a market where live animals were being sold for food. By tracing the outbreak, cases were retrospectively identified as early as November 17, 2019 and some undetected cases may have occurred even prior to that time. The first death from this new illness was reported on January 11, 2020. Since then this disease has spread across the globe achieving pandemic status and disrupting contemporary life.

This new volume in the Deadly Diseases and Epidemics series, COVID-19 and Other Coronaviruses, Third Edition, traces the history of coronaviruses, past outbreaks of coronavirus-related illnesses, such as SARS, and explains the nature of SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19. It also includes a new chapter dedicated to the emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants that are appearing.

Other chapters include:

  • History of Coronaviruses
  • Testing for and Diagnosis of Coronavirus Infections
  • Transmission of Coronavirus Diseases
  • Molecular Biology and Immunology of Coronavirus Diseases
  • Vaccines and Prevention of COVID-19 and Other Coronavirus Diseases
  • Outlook for COVID-19 and the Potential for Future Coronavirus Pandemics
