Detection of environmental SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a high prevalence setting in Spain

Isabel G. Fernandez-de-Mera et al.

Summary: The investigation in a rural community in Spain with a high prevalence of COVID-19 found that 12% of samples collected from environmental surfaces tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. While this highlights the potential for environmental transmission, it is not yet recommended as a standard approach for COVID-19 epidemiology.

Assessing the risks of SARS-CoV-2 in wildlife

R. J. Delahay et al.

Summary: The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 likely originated from wildlife, leading to human-to-animal transmission. The establishment of reservoirs of infection in wild animals poses challenges to infection control in humans and threatens wildlife welfare and conservation status. Efforts for dynamic risk assessment and targeted surveillance in wildlife are crucial for early detection and understanding the role of wild mammals in the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, integrating information from public and veterinary health initiatives.
