      A new group of viruses with the name ofcoronaviruses has been recognized by an informal group of virologists who have sent their conclusions toNature.[] In the opinion of the eight virologists these viruses are members of a previously unrecognized group which they suggest should be called thecoronaviruses, to recall the characteristic appearance by which these viruses are identified in the electron microscope.]
    • [1969 November, Harold S. Kaye, Walter R. Dowdle, “Some Characteristics of Hemagglutination of Certain Strains of ‘IBV-Like’ Virus”, inThe Journal of Infectious Diseases, volume120, number 5, Chicago, Ill.:University of Chicago Press,→ISSN,→JSTOR,→OCLC,→PMID, page576, column 1:
      This characteristic structural resemblance and other shared properties of these viruses have caused certain virologists to propose the namecoronavirus for this previously unrecognized group.]

      The virus, designated as ratcoronavirus (RCV), exhibits properties representative of thecoronavirus group: characteristic surface structure, particles somewhat variable in size averaging approximately 90 mμ, apparent RNA content, essential lipid, heat sensitivity, and a close serologic relationship with the mouse hepatitis virus complex.

      In 1971 a caninecoronavirus was isolated from feces of military dogs that were suffering from severe vomiting and diarrhea. [...] Diagnosis usually is based on the history and physical examination and the identification ofcoronavirus by electron microscope examination of feces or by performing other laboratory tests on the feces.
