SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

High prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in pets from COVID-19+ households

One Health, Volume 11, Article 100192, Year 2021

In a survey of household cats and dogs of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients, we found a high seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, ranging from 21% to 53%, depending on the positivity criteria chosen. Seropositivity was significantly greater among pets from COVID-19+ households compared to those with owners of unknown status. Our results highlight the potential role of pets in the spread of the epidemic. © 2020
