In 2004 and 2005, reports of bird-to-human, and possible human-to-human, transmissions of the H5N1 influenza viruses raised fears that these viruses could cause a pandemic on the scale of the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918. Previous to this, a novel coronavirus had been identified as the aetiological agent of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), a new respiratory viral disease that emerged at the end of 2002 and caused profound disturbances in over 30 countriesNovartis Foundation symposium ;290.Virus diseasesCongressesRespiratory organsDiseasesCongressesVirus diseasesRespiratory organsDiseases616.2Symposium on Novel and re-emerging respiratory viral diseases.held at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology(2007 :Singapore)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910876860403321Novel and re-emerging respiratory viral diseases1911901UNINA
