Según Chen et al. los coronavirus (CoV) son patógenos importantes para humanos, vertebrados. Pueden infectar vías respiratorias, gastrointestinales, hepáticas, sistema nervioso central de humanos, ganado, pájaros, murciélagos, ratones y muchos otros animales salvajes. Los brotes del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS) en 2002/2003 y el síndrome respiratorio de Oriente Medio (MERS) en 2012 han demostrado la posibilidad de transmisión de animal a humano, y de humano a humano de nuevos CoV emergentes, Un brote de neumonía misteriosa en Wuhan desde diciembre de 2019 atrajo la atención en todo el mundo. El gobierno chino, e investigadores tomaron medidas rápidas para controlar el brote y llevar a cabo los estudios etiológicos. El agente causal de la neumonía misteriosa identificado como un nuevo coronavirus (nCoV) mediante investigaciones etiológicas y de secuenciación realizadas por al menos cinco laboratorios independientes de China. El 12 de enero de 2020, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) nombró temporalmente al nuevo virus como nuevo coronavirus de 2019 (nCoV 2019). La aparición esporádica y los brotes de nuevos tipos de CoV hacen recuerdo que los CoV son una grave amenaza para la salud mundial. Es altamente probable que los nuevos brotes de CoV sean inevitables en el futuro debido a los cambios del clima, ecología, y el aumento de las interacciones de humanos con animales. Por lo tanto, existe la necesidad urgente de desarrollar terapias y vacunas efectivas contra los CoV. El nCoV 2019 causó una gran mortalidad en diversos países del mundo, provocando que los gobiernos opten por el aislamiento social, cierre de escuelas, prohibición de reuniones públicas, deportivas, restricción del transporte público, cierre de fronteras y otras restricciones. El aplicar restricciones comerciales, políticas que se han convertido en un problema, por ser barreras entre países, que han desencadenado picos en los precios de los alimentos y un comportamiento especulativo en los mercados de los productos agrícolas básicos, de ahí los pobres del mundo, están siendo los más afectados.

Therefore, this review paper was aimed to assess the role of previously established exclosure land use for socio-economic as well as soil fertility improvement.
