Study finds no evidence of major SARS-CoV-2 spread among wild rodents Rodents SARSCoV2 Coronavirus Disease COVID CDC_NCEZID
By Suchandrima BhowmikNov 6 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. Previous research has indicated the reverse transmission of various zoonotic pathogens from humans to animals as a global concern.
Related StoriesWild rodents are suspected to be more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Most often, infection results in no or minor detectable disease, although shedding of the virus takes place 4 to 7 days post-infection and can be spread to naive rodents. This could lead to broad circulation, reverse transmission, and long-term establishment of SARS-CoV-2 among the rodent population.
About the study The study involved sampling 1,202 rodents and 35 Soricidae shrews from 8 urban parks and 23 forest sites across 5 European countries . This was followed by an assessment of the SARS-CoV-2 serologic status of each rodent using an infected cell-based immunofluorescent assay . SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR was also used to confirm infection.
