The susceptibility of rabbits to SARS-CoV-2 is a potential public health concern as they can excrete infectious virus from the nose and throat. Therefore, investigations on the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in farmed rabbits should be considered.
Transmission of severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) between livestock and humans is a potential public health concern. We demonstrate the susceptibility of rabbits to SARS-CoV-2, which excrete infectious virus from the nose and throat upon experimental inoculation. Therefore, investigations on the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in farmed rabbits should be considered.
