In March 2020, a severe respiratory syndrome developed in a cat, 1 week after its
owner received positive test results for severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2. Viral RNA was detected in the cat’s nasopharyngeal swab
samples and vomitus or feces; immunoglobulin against the virus was found in
convalescent-phase serum. Human-to-cat transmission is suspected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
