Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causal agent of COVID-19, is considered a pathogen animal origin that mainly transmitted from human to human. Several species can be naturally or experimentally infected by SARS-CoV-2, with compelling evidence mink highly susceptible SARS-CoV-2 infection. Human-to-mink infection cases have been reported and there are also suggestions mink-to-human occurs. Mink infections date only on fur farms, except for one free- ranging...
Animals have been involved in the three known outbreaks of severe respiratory syndromes due to coronaviruses (years 2005, 2012, and 2019). The pandemic nature SARS-CoV-2 outbreak increases likelihood infection from humans susceptible animal species that, thus, could become secondary viral hosts even disease reservoirs. We present evidence spillover wild mustelids by reporting presence a Eurasian river otter found near water reservoir Valencian Community (Spain). detected virus using two...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent of COVID-19 , is considered a pathogen with animal origin, mainly transmitted human to human. It has been experimentally and naturally demonstrated that several animals can be infected by SARS-CoV-2. There are strong evidences minks highly susceptible SARS-CoV-2 infection, since cases mink infection have reported, it suggested exists, which so far most reliable example zoonotic event . However, all these...
We used anonymous questionnaires to assess the hygienic and sanitary aspects of game meat self-consumption in Eastern Spain as first step towards a health risk assessment. The survey yielded 472 valid interviews from active hunters. maximum possible score was 65 points (average 29 ± 8; range 1-52). Most participants were men (95%), but women achieved significantly better scores (p = 0.003). Hunters above years old scored lower results than younger groups 0.007). increased with educational...
The appearance of methicillin-resistant strains Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in several animal species (including rabbits) has set off alarms for their capacity to act as reservoirs this bacterium. This is especially important wild animals given its epidemiological implications. objectives study were identify and characterize S. aureus, specifically MRSA, lagomorph high-density areas. Ten hares 353 rabbits from 14 towns with a high rabbit density the Valencian region (eastern Spanish coast)...
In the setting of recent COVID-19 pandemic, transmission SARS-CoV-2 to animals has been reported in both domestic and wild is a matter concern. Given genetic functional similarities humans, non-human primates merit particular attention. case lemurs, generally considered endangered, they are believed be susceptible infection. We have conducted study for evidence infection among 43 lemurs Mundomar, zoological park Benidorm, Spain. They belong two endangered lemur species, 23 black-and-white...
