Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Coronaviridae family includes a large number of viruses affecting humans, farm animals, pets, wildlife, and birds. Since coronaviruses have a broad host range and tropism, there is a continuous emergence of new coronaviruses, new serotypes, and new variants of the currently known coronaviruses. Some of them might cross the species barrier and infect humans, such as in the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. Thus, it is important to study the pathogenesis and immunity of coronaviruses to better develop antiviral drugs and vaccines. In this Special Issue of Viruses, we invite the submission of original research papers and review articles spanning all aspects of coronaviruses, including molecular mechanisms mediating virus virulence, the molecular basis of virus replication, virus pathogenesis, virus diagnosis, animal models, host immune responses involved in protection against infection, the development of vaccines and antiviral drugs, and coronaviruses in wildlife.
