SARS, known as the severe acute respiratory syndrome, caused the deaths of more than 750 people in a pandemic that occurred between 2002 and 2003. Researchers believe that just like other deadly diseases like Ebola virus, Marburg virus, and MERS, this disease had originated from bats, with the first cases appearing in the Guangdong province of southern China in 2002.

Those infected experienced symptoms like fever, malaise, myalgia, headache, diarrhea, and shivering.
