Coronaviruses have caused three major epidemics since 2003, with the ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic being the most concerning of them all. In all previous endemic cases, the emergence of coronaviruses among humans has been associated with zoonotic transmissions from animal reservoirs, proving the propensity of such pathogens to be transmitted between species. Among the four recognized genera of the family Coronaviridae, human infections that have been reported thus far have been limited to alpha coronaviruses and beta coronaviruses.
