Abstract

Purpose. To study interdisciplinary and describe briefly the key issues of epidemiology, etiology of coronavirus infection, concomitant infections (in particular, tuberculosis and HIV infection), as well as the use of an arsenal of medical cybernetics, bioinformatics and other related physical, mathematical and technical sciences for solving problems in the field of epidemiology, modeling and monitoring of the disease, medical prevention and treatment of patients.

Methods. The analysis of research publications from bibliographic databases such as Google scholar (https://scholar.google.ru), EBSCO (https://www.ebsco.com), CyberLeninka (https://cyberleninka.ru), PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), IEEE explore (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/home.jsp), BioRxiv (https: //www.biorxiv.org)

Findings. Modern data on the etiology and epidemiology of the new coronavirus infection are highlighted. The possibilities of using modern methods of bioinformatics and artificial intelligence, mathematical modeling and forecasting in this subject area are presented. Selected aspects of the use of immunoinformatics and the development of effective and safe vaccines, the real possibilities of using medical drones to combat COVID-19 are shown.

Application field of research. The material of the article can be used as a helpful source of information for scientists, workers in medical, biological, biotechnological and related specialties, as well as in the educational process implemented by institutions of higher education and additional education of specialists. The article will also be of interest to a wide range of readers.
