| |
| − | 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.

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