This book provides a core understanding of the COVID-19 disease through ultrastructural imaging, using light microscopy, immunofluorescence, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy of samples from COVID-19 patients at different stages of the disease. It provides direct evidence of the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the cellular level in different age groups, disease stages, and comorbidities. The book explores advanced imaging techniques to enhance understanding of ultrastructural changes and provides a comprehensive overview of SARS-CoV-2-induced ultrastructural alterations in various respiratory tract cells. It summarizes key ultrastructural findings observed in SARS-CoV-2-infected cells, highlighting morphological and subcellular modifications, and features high-resolution images to illustrate virus-induced structural changes effectively.
The book includes contributions from academicians, scientists, and emerging researchers, ensuring an accessible yet in-depth presentation of the subject, and is a useful tool for everyone interested in understanding COVID-19.
