June Almeida (1930-2007) was 'an internationally renowned virologist whose skills in electron microscopy enabled her not only to identify viruses whose fine structure had hitherto been unknown but also to shed light on the pathogenesis of viral infections, and to pioneer and improve methods for viral diagnosis'. In addition to the identification of coronavirus, she made groundbreaking contributions to the study of rubella, hepatitis, norovirus, SARS, the common cold, and HIV, and even today, 'most virology review articles and textbooks contain her electron micrographs of viruses' (British Medical Journal obituary, June 28, 2008).
