Coronaviruses: emerging and re-emerging pathogens in humans and animals

Coronaviruses: emerging and re-emerging pathogens in humans and animals



Coronaviruses: emerging and re-emerging pathogens in humans and animals

Edited by Susanna K. P. Lau
This thematic series published in Virology Journalemphasizes advances and key discoveries in the animal origin, viral evolution, epidemiology, diagnostics and pathogenesis of different emerging and re-emerging coronaviruses. Some of the coronavirus infections raise very serious problems in the past 2 decades, such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003, and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) which has caused millions of deaths in piglets worldwide. More recently, we are threatened by the outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) which has spread to various countries including South Korea.
