If at the beginning of the plague most of us were afraid that our pets might infect us in the corona, and the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention even advised their owners to maintain a social distance from them, now it turns out we are the ones who might harm them.
A new unpublished study has found that the big risk is that people who are sick in Corona will pass it on to their pets, when cats are at particularly high risk.
Researchers from Guellaf University in Canada searched for antibodies in 48 cats and 54 dogs from 77 households where corona-positive patients were found.
They found the virus in 67 percent of cats (32) and 43 percent of dogs (23).
The researchers also examined 75 stray cats and 75 dogs and cats in animal shelters, and found that they had much lower antibody rates.
Only 3 percent of all stray cats (2) and 9 percent of all shelter animals in total (7) were found positive.

These data indicate human-animal transmission, as animals in shelters have less contact with humans.
Indeed, there is no sign of transmission from pets to humans, as noted in a Dutch study from the University of Utrecht that found that about 20 percent of pets exposed to corona patients became infected with them.
The results presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases showed that the most likely way of transmitting viruses is from humans to animals, and not the other way around.
Take care of your pets.
Always.

The owners reported that most of the pets infected with the virus developed only mild symptoms, if any.
About 20 percent of pet dogs (11) were cough symptomatic, they experienced loss of appetite and their energy levels dropped while their owners were sick, but recovered quickly.
On the other hand, 27 percent of pet cats (13) suffered from mild symptoms, including runny nose and difficulty breathing, while 6 percent (3) suffered from severe symptoms.

"Cats, especially those sleeping on their owners' beds, looked particularly vulnerable," editor-in-chief Dorothy Binzel of Guellaf University in Canada said in a press release.
The researchers suggest that the virus may bind more easily to cats' cell receptors than to dogs.
But they also say that cats are more likely to sleep near the owner's face - making it easier to infect.
Since the outbreak, a number of pets have been found to be positive for the virus - although such cases are usually quite rare.
Earlier this year, two gorillas on a San Diego zoo safari were infected with Covid-19 from one of their handlers - the first known case of monkey disease.
The virus has also been detected in a number of other wildlife, including lions and tigers at the Bronx Zoo in New York and lions at the Barcelona Zoo in Spain.
