When the next outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) will emerge is anyone's guess. But three years after first identifying the disease (in November 2002), researchers are still trying to determine the most effective SARS assays, while also working to develop the next generation of tests. "We're still in the process of evaluating the tests," says James Mahony of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, who has coauthored a series of papers comparing different SARS assays. "We're starting to get a feel for how they perform."
