Scientific literature on SARS-COV-2 viruses and its variants (especially variants of concern such as the ‘Delta variant’) and important cellular targets is crucial to help researchers, virologists and clinicians around the globe to develop a new generation of safer and more effective vaccines, and other treatments to address COVID-19 disease. The accompanying damage to the many organs and tissues of SARS-Co-2-infected people also needs to be understood and researchers are using data to devise meaningful protocols for treating these symptoms.
This second volume of Coronaviruses brings together more useful information about the prevention/vaccination, and chemotherapies for the potential treatment of coronavirus infections.
2 COVID-19: Preventive and protective control management strategies
3 Plant-derived extracts and bioactive compounds against coronavirus progression: preventive effects, mechanistic aspects, and structures
4 Gastroenteritis: symptoms and epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2
5 The chronicles of coronavirus: A Chinese king who conquered the entire world
6 Traditional medicine as a natural remedy in ARDS & COVID-19
7 Molecular pathogenesis of human coronaviruses of the 21st century
8 COVID-19, mental health and neuropathophysiology of pain related to temporomandibular disorder.
The volume serves as a novel compilation of key data on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 and represents a resource of the utmost value for all scholars studying SARS-CoV infections. It should also be of great interest to clinicians who may be facing an overwhelming number of individuals affected with COVID-19, with over 267 million global cases documented as of the first week of December 2021).
