Riley Black, Smithsonian Magazine, 15 Mar. 2022 SARS-CoV-1, the virus that caused the 2002-04 SARS epidemic, seems to have crossed over from civet cats. Adam O’neal, WSJ, 26 Nov. 2021 The civet was identified as the most probable source of SARS within four months of the outbreak; camels were identified within nine months of MERS. Carolyn Kormann, The New Yorker, 12 Oct. 2021 Previous coronavirus outbreaks include the first SARS in 2003, which started in bats, then spread to civet cats and into humans; and the 2012 MERS outbreak, which spilled over from bats to camels, and ultimately to people.
