Microbiologist: SARS now attacking intestines

[vetvetdoug]

This article in the JAVMA came out 1 June but I think most of it was written around late April. I am willing to wager that the information that SARS affected the intestinal system came out after the author wrote and submitted this article for publication. FR is much better for up to date information than written journals and has proven it. Dr. Brian was one of my microbiology instructors and Dr. Guy and I worked in the same lab for a couple of years. Its nice to see they are getting some recognition for their studies.
