Epidemiología de los coronavirus que afectan al ser humano
Abstract
Los coronavirus son virus que tienen
su nicho natural en animales silvestres
de diversas regiones del mundo, en
especial murciélagos o aves, que albergan
géneros específicos de estos virus: alfa y
beta en murciélagos, y gama y delta en
aves. En esos hospedadores definitivos
el virus no causa enfermedad; es cuando
dan el salto a otros animales silvestres o
domésticos, incluso al ser humano, que
se consideran hospedadores accidentales
o intermediarios, cuando estos virus se
pueden convertir, potencialmente, en
causantes de enfermedad.
