A systematic review of the literature on the relationship between ace2 and sars-cov infection in animal models

Background: similar to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), research suggests severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) interacts with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to gain entry into cells. The primary objective is to synthesize existing animal model research on the association between ACE2 and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) infection. The secondary objective is to describe the …
