SARS-CoV-2 infection of domestic animals and their role in evolution and emergence of variants of concern

20241 citationOpen accessUniversity of Fort Hare

Abstract

This reveals that there is spill over of previously circulating variants of concern (VOC) to household pets from their infected owners. Hence, there is an urgent need for more intense surveillance to be carried out globally to monitor evolution of SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses as a result of human - pet association.
