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 countries 410 0$aNovartis Foundation symposium ;$v290. 606 $aVirus diseases$vCongresses 606 $aRespiratory organs$xDiseases$vCongresses 610 1 $aNovel respiritory viral diseases 610 1 $aRe-emerging respiritory viral diseases 615 0$aVirus diseases 615 0$aRespiratory organs$xDiseases 676 $a616.2 712 02$aSymposium on Novel and re-emerging respiratory viral diseases.$bheld at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology$f(2007 :$eSingapore) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830163703321 996 $aNovel and re-emerging respiratory viral diseases$91911901 997 $aUNINA
