About

    Virus pandemics refer to the worldwide spread of a particular virus that causes widespread illness, often resulting in a large number of cases and deaths. These pandemics typically occur when a new virus emerges or when a known virus mutates into a form that is easily transmissible between humans. Examples of virus pandemics include the H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009 and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Research in this area focuses on understanding the origin, transmission, and impact of these viruses, as well as developing strategies to prevent and control future pandemics.
