Abstract

The current epidemic of a new coronavirus disease
(COVID-19), caused by a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV),
recently officially named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has reopened the issue
of the role and importance of coronaviruses in human pathology (1-5). This epidemic definitively confirms that this
heretofore relatively harmless family of viruses, Coronaviridae, includes major pathogens of epidemic potential. The
COVID-19 epidemic has clearly demonstrated the power
of infectious diseases, which have been responsible for
many devastating epidemics throughout history. The epidemiological potential of emerging infectious diseases, especially zoonoses, is affected by numerous environmental,
epidemiological, social, and economic factors (6,7). Emerging zoonoses pose both epidemiological and clinical challenges to health care professionals.
