Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) refers to a type of virus that belongs to the coronavirus family. Bats are the most plausible ecological reservoirs for SARS-CoV-2, although the virus is considered to have originated from an intermediate animal host and then crossed the species barrier to infect human beings. The SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes four main structural proteins, including the membrane (M) protein, the spike (S) protein, the envelope (E) protein and the nucleocapsid (N) protein, all of which are necessary to build the viral particle. In addition to four structural proteins, SARS-CoV-2 has sixteen non-structural proteins (nsp1-16). RNA replication and processing is mediated by Nsp1. It is crucial to comprehend the structure and function of SARS-CoV-2, as well as its variants, in order to develop viable treatments and vaccines to combat the COVID-19 disease. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of the structure and function of SARS-CoV-2. Experts and students actively engaged in the research on this virus will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
