“…Though the exact ways of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from infected humans to animals are vaguely understood, the possible and promising transmission may occur through touching their noses or mouth by infected hands defiled with respiratory droplets or saliva [64]. At the time of sneezing, coughing, or even talking, infected humans can disseminate respiratory droplets, which have a pivotal role in the transmission of the virus to animals [65]. However, the transmission of the virus from affected people can be facilitated by some favorable risk factors, e.g., kissing, petting, licking, or hugging pet animals [66].…”

COVID-19 caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) originated in Wuhan (Hubei province, China) during late 2019. It has spread across the globe affecting nearly 21 million people with a toll of 0.75 million deaths and restricting the movement of most of the world population during the past 6 months. COVID-19 became the leading health, economic, and humanitarian challenge of the twenty-first century. In addition to the considerable COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in humans, several cases of SARS-CoV-2 infections in animal hosts (dog, cat, tiger, lion, and mink) have been reported. Thus, the concern of pet owners is increasing. Moreover, the dynamics of the disease requires further explanation, mainly concerning the transmission of the virus from humans to animals and vice versa. Therefore, this study aimed to gather information about the reported cases of COVID-19 transmission in animals through a literary review of works published in scientific journals and perform genomic and phylogenetic analyses of SARS-CoV-2 isolated from animal hosts. Although many instances of transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 have been reported, caution and further studies are necessary to avoid the occurrence of maltreatment in animals, and to achieve a better understanding of the dynamics of the disease in the environment, humans, and animals. Future research in the animal–human interface can help formulate and implement preventive measures to combat the further transmission of COVID-19.

“…This study analyzed and discussed available published genome until April 05, 2020, for a better understanding of the genomic variation and characterization of a novel coronavirus . This virus is transmitted from person to person via droplet transmission Ozaslan et al, 2020). Therefore, the virus is spreading easily in overcrowded areas.…”

“…Incompatible death results are more common in the elderly and those with underlying comorbidities (50-75% of fatal cases). In the adult, aged patient's fatality rate ranges between 4 and 11% while the overall fatality rate varies between 2 and 3% (Ozaslan et al, 2020;Rothan and Byrareddy, 2020). In another study, similar symptoms for COVID-19 and earlier betacoronavirus have been observed in chest CT scans (P. .…”

In this review, we focused on the origins of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), origin, pathogenesis, immune responses, genes and genetic variations, phylogenetic analyses, and potential therapeutic strategies to summarize approaches for developing broadly effective preventions and vaccines to cope COVID-19. Towards the end of 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in association with the SARS, later was named COVID-19 caused an environment of chaos worldwide and infected a massive number of lives. Since these epidemics or pandemics had spread to 210 countries and territories around the world and 2 international conveyances with 6,467,229 confirmed cases, including, 382,766 deaths, as of June 03, 2020 (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/), hence the World Health Organization declared it as a global Public Health Emergency. There are no clinically approved vaccines or antiviral drugs available for either of new or old corona infections; thus, the development of effective therapeutic and preventive strategies that can be readily available to cope with these strains.
