Probable Strategies to Combat Corona Pandemic by Tracing its Re Emergence from SARS Virus

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 which is closely related to SARS-CoV is prevalent in humans and animals as it infects their respiratory system or gut lining. The minor emergence of SARS in late 2003 and the recent discovery of bat SARS-CoV, suggests that SARS can return if conditions are optimum to proliferate. The re-emergence has led to various researches on the basic scientific aspects of the disease. Hence, we aim to study the life cycle of the virus in the human host cell focusing on the key events which may lead to potential therapeutic strategies against COVID-19. We also aim to analyze the other SARS-CoV genome similarities with the SARS-CoV-2 genome. Another objective of this review is to deal with present-day Covid-19 which can be studied by determining the source of emergence and transmission of previously occurred SARS- CoV pandemic. We aim to deduce possible measures of controlling the epidemic by taking a cue from the various mitigation techniques of SARS and the analysis of epidemiology, infection cycle and pathogenicity.
