What is the cause of SARS?
Scientists in many laboratories around the world have been trying to find the cause of SARS. A new Coronavirus is the cause of the disease. It is believed to be a new corona virus because the known corona virus infections cause only a mild ARI in human beings, while they also cause disease in animals – cats, dogs, pigs, mice and birds.
On the basis of available information, the cause of SARS cannot be definitively identified. On March 25, CDC announced that its scientists had detected a previously unrecognized coronavirus in 2 patients with SARS. These findings are preliminary and do not provide conclusive evidence that coronavirus is the cause of SARS.
