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.
在一项针对实验室确诊的COVID-19患者家庭中的猫和狗的调查中,我们发现SARS-CoV-2抗体的血清阳性率很高,根据所选择的阳性标准,该阳性率在21%至53%之间。与主人状况不明的宠物相比,COVID-19阳性家庭中的宠物血清阳性率显著更高。我们的结果突出了宠物在疫情传播中的潜在作用。
