Article Synopsis
- Environmental changes caused by human activities, like deforestation and wildlife consumption, disrupt ecosystems and facilitate the transmission of viruses from animals to humans.
- In December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 emerged from bats, leading to the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside previous outbreaks like SARS and MERS, largely due to coronaviruses' ability to mutate and adapt to infect different species.
- The review discusses the viral, host, and environmental factors contributing to the zoonotic transmission of these coronaviruses, highlighting bats as key reservoirs due to their biological and ecological traits.
