Susceptibility of rabbits to SARS-CoV-2. Issue 1 (1st January 2021) - Mykytyn, Anna Z.
ABSTRACT: Transmission of severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) between livestock and humans is a potential public health concern. We demonstrate the susceptibility of rabbits to SARS-CoV-2, which excrete infectious virus from the nose and throat upon experimental inoculation. Therefore, investigations on the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in farmed rabbits should be considered.
