Descrizione: COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a threatening disease caused by the novel enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA beta-coronavirus, denoted as SARS-CoV-2. In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), given the high number of cases and the spread of the disease worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 shares 79.5% of its genetic code with the virus SARS-CoV, which was identified in 2002 as the causative agent of the SARS pandemic. In a similar manner to the causative agent of SARS, SARS-CoV-2 causes severe respiratory problems, including cough, fever, and respiratory difficulties. The scientific community has heavily focused on accelerating research by identifying molecular actors of SARS-CoV-2 virulence and infection, which are key in the delivery of therapeutics to hamper vital functions of viral replication.
