Insight into COVID-19's epidemiology, pathology, and treatment

The newly emerged 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has urged scientific and medical communities to focus on epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of SARS-CoV-2. Indeed, little is known about the virus causing this severe acute respiratory syndrome pandemic, coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Data already collected on viruses belonging to the coronaviridae family are of interest to improve our knowledge rapidly on this pandemic. The current review aims at delivering insight into the fundamental advances inSARS-CoV-2 epidemiology, pathophysiology, life cycle, and treatment.

Automated summary

The emergence of COVID-19 has led to a focus on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of SARS-CoV-2. Our understanding of this coronavirus, which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, is still limited. Previous research on coronaviruses provides valuable knowledge to improve our understanding of this pandemic. This review aims to provide insights into the key advances in SARS-CoV-2's epidemiology, pathophysiology, life cycle, and treatment.
