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 addition of animal coronaviruses allows awareness of not only the potential of zoonotic transmission of coronaviruses from wild animals such as bats and rodents, but also from domestic agricultural and companion animals with whom we have close contact. 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 discusses coronaviruses with possible zoonotic transmission of domestic, semi-domestic animals, and companion animals. Pathogenic Coronaviruses of Humans and Animals concludes with future perspectives of coronavirus mutations, modeling, and protective measures as well as discussion around pandemics and infectious diseases around the globe.
