It is difficult to prove what virus causes what illness. Evidence accumulates over time. There have been various announcements proclaiming a likely cause; not all were correct. Up to now, the evidence for the coronavirus has been developing, but certainly was not conclusive. bob Quote: >> U.S. researchers confirm SARS virus >> U.S. scientists have identified the virus of a deadly respiratory illness >> that has sickened nearly 3,000 >> people worldwide and prompted travel bans, forced quarantines and upended >> the Asian economy. >> http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030411-5521458.htm

There are lots of coronaviruses of animals, most of them gut viruses (feline infectious peritonitis being the most famous one that pet owners know), but a few respiratory viruses in pigs, turkeys, and chickens. The coronavirus that causes bronchitis in chickens is paricularly interesting, not only because of its similar clinical nature to SARS, but also because it is has a interaction with mycoplasma, with the combination of diseases being much worse than either alone. Perhaps we're seeing that kind of thing now with people. With one agent being the coronavirus, and the other being mycoplasma, or perhaps even the clamydia which was associated with the must more indolent Guangdong pre-epidemic of Nov-Feb on the mainland near Hong Kong.
