Sars-2 (Covid-19) Susceptibility of ferrets, cats, dogs, and other domesticated animals to SARS–coronavirus 2. This article describes that SARS-CoV-2 replicates poorly in dogs, pigs, chickens, and ducks, but ferrets and cats are permissive to infection. The authors found experimentally that cats are susceptible to airborne infection. This study provides important insights into the animal models...

The sanitary crisis all over Europe has made the European institutions adapt in their daily work: teleworking, modified agenda and postponed meetings are now the norm. As a matter of fact, non-essential staffers are required to work from home.

SARS-CoV-2 is a recently emerged zoonotic pathogen, and susceptibility of different animals that are either known virus reservoirs, might serve as animal models or are possibly in close contact with infected humans is still understudied. Here we report on SARS-CoV-2 infection experiments in fruit bats, ferrets, pigs and chickens.  

SARS-CoV-2 is a new virus responsible for an outbreak of respiratory illness known as COVID-19, which has spread to several countries around the world. As a leading research publisher, Springer Nature is committed to supporting the global response to emerging outbreaks by enabling fast and direct access to the latest available research, evidence, and data.
