AB Coronaviruses  are  large,  enveloped  RNA  viruses.  The  human  coronaviruses  cause  common  colds,  may  cause  lower  respiratory  tract  infections,  and  have  been  implicated  in  gastroenteritis  in  infants.  Novel  coronaviruses  have  been  identified  as  the  cause  of  severe  acute  respiratory  syndrome  (SARS)  and  Middle  East  respiratory  syndrome  (MERS).  Animal  coronaviruses  cause  diseases  of  economic  importance  in  domestic  animals.  Coronaviruses  of  lower  animals  establish  persistent  infections  in  their  natural  hosts.  The  human  viruses  are  difficult  to  culture  and  therefore  are  more  poorly  characterized.
