Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 29, No. 3, Year 2023

We tested coatis (Nasua nasua) living in an urban park near a densely populated area of Brazil and found natural SARS-CoV-2 Zeta variant infections by using quantitative reverse transcription PCR, genomic sequencing, and serologic surveillance. We recommend a One Health strategy to improve surveillance of and response to COVID-19. © 2023 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). All rights reserved.
