Could our feline friends be spreading COVID-19? Lab research shows that SARS-CoV-2 infects cats and ferrets, raising concern that pets could be transferring the virus between households. But it’s not all bad news: the same study showed that dogs, chickens, pigs and ducks can’t be infected.

We know SARS-CoV-2 can infect cats (and even tigers), but minks emerged as a significant reservoir of the virus. Transmission of the virus was detected from humans to mink and back to humans and 68% of mink farm workers in the Netherlands tested positive for or had antibodies to SARS-CoV-2.

Human exploitation of wildlife increases the risk of infectious diseases crossing from animals to humans. Hunting, trade, habitat degradation and urbanization all put people in close contact with animals, which is not only putting wildlife at risk of extinction, but also putting humans in danger of contracting new diseases.
