Coronaviridae
Coronaviruses are perhaps most easily identified because of their classic "crown" appearance. They are quite common in the young of most species and can infect a wide range of tissues.
Content
Morphology
Corona viruses are large, spherical enveloped RNA viruses. They can be 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.
