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.


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
