Experimental upper respiratory infections similar to "common colds" were transmitted singly and in series through two and four passages in nine out of fifteen persons, by intransal inoculations with bacteria-free filtrates of nasopharyngeal washings obtained from individuals ill with natural "colds." These observations conform with those reported by previous workers and lend further support to the view that the incitant of the "common cold" is a filtrable virus.

1. Chimpanzees are highly suitable animals for the experimental study of human upper respiratory infections. 2. Human colds have been successfully transmitted to apes and human volunteers in 44 per cent of instances tried by means of filtered nasal washings obtained from colds. 3. Certain types of infectious colds are caused by a filtrable agent.

The use of decongestants for the common cold remains controversial. Topical decongestants appear effective in shrinking the nasal mucosa and relieving symptoms, but the rebound phenomenon and other undesirable side effects, especially with imidazolines, preclude their more common use in children.12 No clearcut evidence exists for the efficacy of oral decongestants and their use in this regard may be more in the nature of a placebo. Based on Miller's study, decongestants may be helpful in maintaining eustachian tube patency in children with chronic serous otitis media, whereas Rubenstein et al.11 found them to be of no help in acute otitis media. Lacking convincing evidence, one cannot presently recommend on a rational basis the routine use of decongestants in upper respiratory infections.

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a well-known group of viruses in veterinary medicine. We currently know four genera of Coronavirus, alfa, beta, gamma, and delta. Wild, farmed, and pet animals are infected with CoVs belonging to all four genera. Seven human respiratory coronaviruses have still been identified, four of which cause upper-respiratory-tract diseases, specifically, the common cold, and the last three that have emerged cause severe acute respiratory syndromes, SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. In this review we briefly describe animal coronaviruses and what we actually know about SARS-CoV-2 infection in farm and domestic animals.
