Acknowledgments

Ritwik Patra thanks the Department of Higher Education, Govt. of West Bengal, for awarding Swami Vivekananda Merit Cum Means Fellowship. We are thankful to the editors for inviting us to contribute a chapter. We acknowledge the efforts of all the doctors, health workers, scientists, and researchers currently working against the COVID-19 pandemic. We have included a selected number of references due to the limitation in space, but we do appreciate all the uncited articles dedicated to the research on coronavirus. The use of the plagiarism detection facility (URKUND software) of Kazi Nazrul University, India, and the online server app.BioRender.com for drawing the figures is also acknowledged.
