In November 2002, a previously unknown severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was observed in patients of the Guangdong Province, China (7). In March 2003, a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was associated with the SARS outbreak (2), and several full-genome sequences of SARS-CoV were obtained and compared (4).
