Introduction

Morphology

  • Large, spherical enveloped RNA viruses
  • Identified by their crowns: long bulbous widely-spaced spikes

Virulence and Pathogenesis

  • Pathogenesis varies widely based on each virus, but most commonly cause respiratory and enteric disturbances
  • Those described here will be the enteric variety

Virus by Species

Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus of Pigs (TGEV)

Bovine Enteric Coronavirus

Feline Infections Peritonitis (FIP)
