SARS-CoV-2: Mapping its features that made it as a unique virus
Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 attracts the attention of nearly the whole world during the last four years. It is a corona virus that responsible for the death of millions. It is responsible for economical corruption in many countries. As a response, excessive vaccination programs were installed everywhere. But many variants are elevated and the virus prove ability to escape from the immune system because of different mutations. The progress in different scientific domains, instrumentation, bioinformatics, and the like, makes fast vaccines developing easier. As a response, new strategies were introduced including new vaccine production and administration strategies, genomic surveillance, immunopeptidome, gene sequencing, and the like, to enable the vaccine to cover all the targeted populations in correct time and to install early alarming system against any elevated new variants. This review contains more information about some important station for the history of vaccine development and the strategies invented by scientists to control different viruses and other microbes. Some important issues that might influence the type of the used vaccines about the SARS-CoV-2 are addressed. They include their symptoms, the virus evasion of the innate immune system, the response of the adaptive immunity, and the like. Although the world still in need of better understand for the SARS-CoV-2 behavior to gain the war against it, previous historical successful vaccine productions, important examples, and station during the human struggle against the viruses are described and discussed.
