Coronavirus infections reported by ProMED, February 2000–January 2020

Clinical features of the first cases and a cluster of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Bolivia imported from Italy and Spain

“…There has been a rapid surge in research in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 [62]. During this early period, published research primarily explored the epidemiology [63], causes, clinical manifestation and diagnosis [64], as well as prevention and control of the novel coronavirus. Although these studies are relevant to control the current public emergency, more high-quality research is needed to provide valid and reliable ways to manage this kind of public health emergency in both the short-and long-term, including therapeutic options [65][66][67][68][69][70][71].…”

Coronavirus Research Trends: A 50–Year Bibliometric Assessment

“…Bibliometric methods aid in measurement of the publication pattern on a given topic, journals, authors, institutions, and countries using statistical methods (Broadus 1987;Garfield, Malin, and Small 1978;Glänzel 2003). Studies on SARS have been reported (Chiu, Huang, and Ho 2004) in terms of highly cited articles (Kostoff 2010) and geographic area-specific research output on infectious disease (Bonilla-Aldana et al 2020;Wang et al 2016;Zyoud 2016), but there are no detailed bibliometric analyses on CoV. Bibliometric studies related to SARS have been reported through 2003, with no descriptive bibliometric studies available related to CoV thereafter.…”

COVID-19, an Emerging Coronavirus Infection: Current Scenario and Recent Developments – An Overview

“…As bats are employed as materia medica, so we can not deny the probability of zoonotic spillover through bats 24,28 . By involving intermediate hosts (bridge hosts), SARS-CoV-2/ 2019-nCoV attained altered pathogenicity and enhanced transmissibility through modified receptor binding domain (RBD) 2,18,26,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] .…”
