=Introduction=
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.
=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)]]===
*Porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) in pig [[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV)|pneumonia]]
*Porcine encephalomyelitis, apart from neuronal destruction, may also cause [[Muscles Inflammatory - Pathology#Porcine encephalomyelitis|myofibre necrosis]]
