SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus. The term originally described the disease that emerged in 2002-2003, caused by SARS-CoV, and it is closely related to the broader coronavirus family that includes SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Coronaviruses of this group can cause fever, cough, shortness of breath and, in severe cases, pneumonia, and they are studied for their genetics, transmission, immune interactions and clinical management. As a journal dedicated to coronaviruses, this title publishes extensive research on SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses. Studies include analyses of the molecular evolutionary characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 based on spike glycoprotein gene sequences, viral kinetics in patients treated with different regimens, work on the spike protein and cytokine gene expression, neutralising antibodies in convalescent plasma, an algorithm to predict possible viral mutations, and mathematical modelling of transmissibility across interacting populations. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to SARS and the wider family of coronaviruses, including their molecular biology, transmission, immunology and clinical course.
