Overview

Coronavirus outbreaks are episodes in which a coronavirus spreads rapidly through a population, causing clusters of respiratory illness that can range from local outbreaks to global pandemics. Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that infect humans and animals, and emergent strains such as SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19, have demonstrated how quickly a novel coronavirus can spread and strain health systems. Understanding outbreaks involves tracing the origin and transmission of the virus, modeling how cases grow, and identifying the measures that limit spread. Within the International Journal of Coronaviruses, research relevant to coronavirus outbreaks includes a narrative review of the novel coronavirus 2019 describing the emerging COVID-19 outbreak, an analysis examining what the registered case counts may represent, and work modeling the outbreak risk of COVID-19 through data analysis. Further studies consider the origin and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 and the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases. Together these works address how coronavirus outbreaks arise, are measured, and are confronted. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to coronavirus outbreaks and their epidemiology.
