The emergence of new variants of SARS-CoV-2 due to continuous adaptations in humans and transmission between humans and animals has raised concerns about the efficacy of vaccines. Understanding the human-to-animal transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and its implications is important for studying the persistence of the virus in animals and vaccine-mediated immunity.
The emergence of alternate variants of SARS-CoV-2 due to ongoing adaptations in humans and following human-to-animal transmission has raised concern over the efficacy of vaccines against new variants. We describe human-to-animal transmission (zooanthroponosis) of SARS-CoV-2 and its implications for faunal virus persistence and vaccine-mediated immunity.
