Can we halt the deadly SARS?

But if people can harbour and transmit the virus while while remaining healthy, or showing few symptoms, it will be much harder. "If there are silent carriers, it will be virtually impossible to contain," warns Osterhaus. This issue is now the focus of research, says Heymann. A lab test for SARS would give a huge boost to surveillance and containment efforts. Many of the scientists at 11 laboratories in nine countries working on the problem think the disease is caused by a new coronavirus. But tests for the virus have yet to be validated.

Meanwhile, there is growing criticism of China. A WHO team is still waiting for permission to visit Guangdong province, where the first infections are thought to have occurred. "We only have a partial picture of what's happening in China, and the team is getting pretty irritated," Cordingley says.
