Abstract

"The zoonotic origin of the SARS-CoV-2 requires surveillance on animals. We report the potent active and previous infection with SARS-CoV-2 of household cats and dogs from COVID-19 owners in Romania, during 2021 and 2022. These results are in accordance with those reported globally, confirming the cross-species transmission of SARS-CoV-2 variants. However, there is no evidence that pets are involved in the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in humans, but are instead accidental hosts."
