chuka_lisThe natural infections and epidemiological roles of household pets in SARS-CoV-2 transmission are not understood.
We conducted a longitudinal study of dogs and cats living with at least one SARS-CoV-2 infected human in Texas and found 47.1% of 17 cats and 15.3% of 59 dogs from 25.6% of 39 households were positive for SARS-CoV-2 via RT-PCR and genome sequencing or neutralizing antibodies. Virus was isolated from one cat.
The majority (82.4%) of infected pets were asymptomatic.
Re-sampling of one infected cat showed persistence of viral RNA at least 32 d-post human diagnosis (25 d-post initial test).
Across 15 antibody-positive animals, titers increased (33.3%), decreased (33.3%) or were stable (33.3%) over time.
Так что, как минимум, они в группе риска в семьях тех, где есть больные.
