Practical part of the project focuses on the diagnosis and prevalenc determination of coronaviruses using serological and molecular methods witht the premise of a subsequent genetical analysis of the isolates. Aquired knowledge of coronaviruses will be transformed into textbook chapters of a university textbook entitled "Coronaviral diseases in animals". The textbook will represent a complex literature source for UVMP students, veterinary as well as human practitioners.
