Bats, Civets and the Emergence of SARS	2007		.txt	text/plain	7011	301	52	Virological and serological studies indicated that masked palm civets ( Paguma larvata ), together with two other wildlife animals, sampled from a live animal market were infected with SARS-CoV or a closely related virus. Here, we review studies by different groups demonstrating that SARS-CoV succeeded in spillover from a wildlife reservoir (probably bats) to human population via an intermediate host(s) and that rapid virus evolution played a key role in the adaptation of SARS-CoVs in at least two nonreservoir species within a short period. Recently, two groups independently demonstrated that bats in the genus Rhinolophus are natural reservoirs of SARS-like viruses , providing strong evidence that SARS-CoV is indeed a new zoonotic virus with a wildlife origin. (2003) , SARS-CoV-like viruses were isolated from palm civets and a raccoon dog in a live animal market in southern China and serologic evidence indicted that a third species, the Chinese ferret-badger, was also infected by a similar virus.	./cache/cord-349392-r71g2e9y.txt	./txt/cord-349392-r71g2e9y.txt
