Alexander E. Gorbalenya,Susan C. Baker,Ralph S. Baric,Raoul J. de Groot,Christian Drosten,Anastasia A. Gulyaeva,Bart L. Haagmans,Chris Lauber,Andrey M. Leontovich,Benjamin W. Neuman,Dmitry Penzar,Stanley Perlman,Leo L.M. Poon,Dmitry V. Samborskiy,Igor A. Sidorov,Isabel Sola,John Ziebuhr +16 more
TL;DR: The independent zoonotic transmission of SARS-CoV and SARS -CoV-2 highlights the need for studying viruses at the species level to complement research focused on individual pathogenic viruses of immediate significance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical progression and viral load in a community outbreak of coronavirus-associated SARS pneumonia: a prospective study.
Joseph S. M. Peiris,Chung-Ming Chu,V. C. C. Cheng,Kin Sang Chan,Ivan Hung,Leo L.M. Poon,K I Law,Bone S.F. Tang,T Y W Hon,CS Chan,Kwok-ning Chan,J S C Ng,Bo-Jian Zheng,Wing-Chun Ng,Raymond Lai,Yi Guan,Kwok-Yung Yuen +16 more
TL;DR: The consistent clinical progression, shifting radiological infiltrates, and an inverted V viral-load profile suggest that worsening in week 2 is unrelated to uncontrolled viral replication but may be related to immunopathological damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of viruses related to the SARS coronavirus from animals in southern China.
Yi Guan,Bo-Jian Zheng,Yuxian He,X. L. Liu,Z. X. Zhuang,CL Cheung,S. W. Luo,Philip H. Li,L. J. Zhang,Y. J. Guan,K. M. Butt,K. L. Wong,K. W. Chan,Wilina Lim,Kennedy F. Shortridge,K. Y. Yuen,Joseph S. M. Peiris,Leo L.M. Poon +17 more
TL;DR: The detection of SCoV-like viruses in small, live wild mammals in a retail market indicates a route of interspecies transmission, although the natural reservoir is not known.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yang Liu,Li Meng Yan,Lagen Wan,Tian Xin Xiang,Aiping Le,Jia Ming Liu,Malik Peiris,Leo L.M. Poon,Wei Zhang +8 more
TL;DR: Overall, the data indicate that, similar to SARS in 2002–03, Viral dynamics in mild and severe cases of COVID-19 are similar to that of SARS.
