This book provides relevant information about common human coronaviruses that may mutate to increase 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. Sections cover history, disease, causative virus, immune response, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and surveillance, and a discussion around pandemics and infectious diseases from around the globe.
