Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is the causative agent of the
2002–2003 SARS pandemic, which resulted in more than 8000 human infections worldwide
and an approximately 10% fatality rate (Ksiazek et al. 2003; Peiris et al. 2004). The virus
infects both upper airway and alveolar epithelial cells, resulting in mild to severe lung injury
in humans (Peiris et al. 2003). During the SARS outbreak investigation, epidemiological
evidence of a zoonotic origin of SARS-CoV was identified (Xu et al. 2004). Isolation of SARS …

During the SARS outbreak investigation, epidemiological evidence of a zoonotic origin of SARS-CoV was identified (Xu et al. 2004). Isolation of SARS-related coronavirus (SARSr-CoVs) from masked palm civets and the detection of SARS-CoV infection in humans working at wet markets where civets were sold suggested that masked palm civets could serve as a source of human infection
