Sars COV 2 in Animals – The Beginning | Chapter 5 | Research Aspects in Agriculture and Veterinary Science Vol. 4

 It is stressed that the medical staff is at most risk, and this is true. Carriers may become infected or carry the virus as a result of constant contact with possibly compromised patients. In this context, it's worth noting that veterinarians are at a higher risk of infection than the general public. It reports and publishes information on the existence of COVID19 in animals in the world literature and international epizootic forums. This virus has been confirmed in several animals, primarily pets from families with multiple carriers. Dyspnea, fever, poor general health, and trouble breathing were all symptoms in pets who tested positive. The International Office of Epizootics cites a few isolated cases in which they tested positive in laboratory tests, but their research yielded some key discoveries for comprehending the new disease's epidemiology. The SARS-CoV-2 infection was clearly linked to the situation of the owners, who were also positive, in the case of dogs and cats discovered positive. The detailed studies found that the dogs and cats were not the source of the owners' ailment, but rather received it from their owners. And, more importantly, it was animals who were victims of humans, not the other way around. Cats and ferrets are the most commonly criticised pets; they were also seen in clinical manifestations and might potentially spread the sickness to other cats. Dogs don't appear to be as sensitive as humans. Veterinary medicine is caught in the middle: on the one hand, it has a professional obligation to investigate the possible source of animal infection using its own and specific methods, but on the other hand, it has a professional duty to defend the innocence of some animal species that have been wrongfully accused and possibly incriminated. Let's not forget that Covid 19 is a syndrome, not an illness, thus clinical misinterpretations are possible. Medical and veterinary databases on the occurrence, the beginning of the pandemic's evolution were accessible as study objectives.
