German and Hong Kong scientists so far have found a virus that belongs to the paramyxovirus family, which includes measles.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified a coronavirus, suggesting that the disease is caused by new mutant form of a common cold virus.

A lab in Canada has found a metapneumovirus, known to produce fairly mild sniffles and sore throats in children, though severe cases leading to pneumonia have been reported.
