Scott Weese on May 29, 2020 A few quick updates on some recent SARS-CoV-2-related stories. North Carolina dog: Positive result not confirmed This case, a pug in North Carolina that had an oral swab that supposedly tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 as part of a Duke University household surveillance study, was reported a few weeks ago. Hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine study debate This topic is a bit outside the animal health-related area, but is still interesting. Tiger SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequencing There’s not really anything notable here in the big picture, but anyone with an inclination towards whole genome sequencing data might be interested in the sequence results from the virus isolated from one of the Bronx Zoo tigers. SARS-CoV-2 in a cat in Russia Just one more report of a cat with SARS-CoV-2 infection, presumably from its infected owner. Not surprising. |

[url]https://www.wormsandgermsblog.com/2020/05/articles/animals/cats/covid-19-odds-and-ends/[/url] good info Test in animals (also) can be false or inconclusive. People need to be aware that virus spreading via animals pose risks for humans. DJ-I fear a second-new-wave (we are still in the first wave) of Covid19 may come via animals. |

I agree Josh that it bears keeping up with what is going on in the animal world. I fear that many do not pay attention to it in regards to Sars-2. |

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/monkeys-run-away-coronavirus- Locals filmed what they say is one of the monkeys sat in a tree chewing one of the sample collection kits. Fears are mounting about the virus spreading amid reports the monkeys are carrying the samples around nearby residential areas. |

[url]https://www.wormsandgermsblog.com/2020/06/articles/animals/dogs/sars-cov-2-in-dogs-usa/[/url] ; The USDA has issued announced the first confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 infection in dog in the US. The affected dog was a German shepherd from New York state, and its owner had COVID-19. Interestingly, the dog had respiratory disease, something we haven’t seen reported in dogs. It tested positive by PCR and antibody testing. Another dog in the household was healthy, but also had antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, indicating it had been infected too. This one is noteworthy for a few reasons.
Overall, it doesn’t change our main talking points much, and it highlights the need for more study. |
