abstract = {This paper is devoted to the multidisciplinary modelling of a pandemic initiated by
an aggressive virus, speci cally the so-called SARS{CoV{2 Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome; corona virus n.2. The study is developed within a multiscale framework
accounting for the interaction of di erent spatial scales, from the small scale of the virus
itself and cells, to the large scale of individuals and further up to the collective behaviour
of populations. An interdisciplinary vision is developed thanks to the contributions of
epidemiologists, immunologists and economists as well as those of mathematical mod-
ellers. The  rst part of the contents is devoted to understanding the complex features of
the system and to the design of a modelling rationale. The modelling approach is treated
in the second part of the paper by showing both how the virus propagates into infected
individuals, successfully and not successfully recovered, and also the spatial patterns,
which are subsequently studied by kinetic and lattice models. The third part reports
the contribution of research in the  elds of virology, epidemiology, immune competition,
and economy focussed also on social behaviours. Finally, a critical analysis is proposed
looking ahead to research perspectives.},
