This is the first comprehensive text to provide not only a detailed
explanation of how the SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) virus is spread within
human populations, but also an epidemiological analysis and
interpretation of viral pandemics to enable better measures for
preventions and control. Providing an introduction to the
physiology of both the human immune system and the SARS-CoV2 virus,
specifically the virus’s replicative potential and our own
vulnerability, the book offers an in-depth understanding of how the
pandemic evolved. It also highlights the aberrant epigenomic
mechanistic process in pathogenic microbe’s replication and
survival, implying gene and environment interaction that affected
different populations. Citing a range of environmental conditions,
from structural and systemic racism to malnutrition and
low-socioeconomic status, the book examines how these factors
exacerbated existing health disparities, resulting in a
disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality on certain
social groups. Also providing invaluable guidance on how future
iterations of this pandemic may be better prevented and controlled,
this will be a defining book for students, researchers and
professionals within Public Health and Clinical Medicine to better
understand the SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) virus, and how to protect the
most vulnerable social groups.
