“…It is crucial from the One Health perspective not only to understand the transmission cycles but also to look for mechanisms of prevention and mitigation of transmission that may be useful for future risk conditions in the context of emerging zoonotic diseases including coronavirus as the case of COVID-19 (Ahmad et al, 2020). Strategic breach in the interaction between host, pathogen and their environment may provide an efficient control over many probable zoonoses in future.…”

“…Since there is a general ecological separation between bats and humans, it is possible that some mammalian species act as an 'intermediate' or 'amplifying' host. It is likely that the recently emerged coronavirus acquired the much) needed mutations within these hosts for human transmission (Ahmad et al 2020). Civets and camels acted as the intermediate host for SARS and MERS, respectively, white camels are thought to be the true reservoir hosts from MERS (de Wit et al 2016).…”

Human animal interface of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) transmission: a critical appraisal of scientific evidence

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to infect both humans and animals. However, the evidence of intertransmission of coronavirus between humans and companion animals is still a debatable issue. There is substantial evidence that the virus outbreak is fueled by zoonotic transmission because this new virus belongs to the same family of viruses as SARS-CoV associated with civet cats, and MERS-CoV associated with dromedary camels. While the whole world is investigating the possibility about the transmission of this virus, the transmission among humans is established, but the interface between humans and animals is not much evident. Not only are the lives of human beings at risk, but there is an equal potential threat to the animal world. With multiple reports claiming about much possibility of transmission of COVID-19 from humans to animals, there has been a significant increase in the number of pets being abandoned by their owners. Additionally, the risk of reverse transmission of COVID-19 virus from companion pets like cats and dogs at home is yet another area of concern. The present article highlights different evidence of human-animal interface and necessitates the precautionary measures required to combat with the consequences of this interface. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have suggested various ways to promote awareness and corroborate practices for helping people as well as animals to stay secure and healthy.

“…Such phenomena may be responsible for the series of recombination within the S gene and around ORF8 leading to the origin of SARS-CoV direct progenitor. Moreover, it is expected that from here the spillover took place from bats to civets and later on to the people residing near the location or due to indulgence in wildlife trade of infected animals (Hu et al 2017;Ahmad et al 2020;Lu et al 2020).…”

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a pandemic that has shocked the world twice over the last two decades caused by a highly transmissible and pathogenic coronavirus (CoV). It causes disease in the lower respiratory tract in humans that was first reported in late 2002 in Guangdong province, China, and later on in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The two viruses designated as SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, respectively, originated probably from the bat and infected humans via carrier animals. The constant recombination and evolution in the CoV genome may have facilitated their cross-species transmission resulting in recurrent emergence as a pandemic. This chapter intends to accumulate recent findings related to CoV transmission and tentative molecular mechanisms governing the process.
