SARS-CoV-2 transmission from infected owner to household dogs and cats is associated with food sharing

Solon Alberto-Orlando et al.

Summary: This study investigates the potential infection of SARS-CoV-2 in household dogs and cats in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and finds a positivity rate of 24%. It also reveals a significant association between pet positivity and food sharing with infected owners.

Risk Factors for SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Illness in Cats and Dogs

Dorothee Bienzle et al.

Summary: This study investigated the infection of pets in households in Ontario, Canada with human COVID-19 cases. The results showed that 2% of dog swab specimens and 7.7% of cat swab specimens were PCR positive, and 41% of dog serum samples and 52% of cat serum samples were positive for SARS-CoV-2 IgG or IgM. In addition, the risk of seropositivity was higher for cats that slept on owners' beds and for dogs and cats that contracted a new illness.

Understanding the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) exposure in companion, captive, wild, and farmed animals

Hannah L. Murphy et al.

Summary: Several animal species, including pets like cats and dogs, have been shown to be susceptible to human coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Cats have been found to replicate the virus more efficiently than dogs and can transmit it through aerosols. Ongoing surveillance efforts are crucial to understand the impact of SARS-CoV-2 exposure in animals and the potential zoonotic transmission risks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in dogs and cats, USA

Subarna Barua et al.

Summary: A serosurvey on dogs and cats in the U.S. revealed some positive samples for SARS-CoV-2, but overall supported the current position that pets do not play a significant role in the spread of the virus to humans.

Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) exposure in pet cats and dogs in Minnesota, USA

Mythili Dileepan et al.

Summary: The study found that in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the seropositive rates of SARS-CoV-2 were higher in pet cats than in pet dogs. It also showed that N-specific IgG antibodies can detect SARS-CoV-2 infections with higher levels of specificity and sensitivity than RBD-specific IgG antibodies in ELISA-based assays.
