Authors: By Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc.Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc. In an effort to further understand and predict the health effects that can arise following infection by SARS-CoV-2, which is the infection that causes the disease COVID-19, many researchers have reevaluated the pathogenesis associated with coronaviruses that have already been identified. One type of coronavirus that has infected individuals around […]
