“…Identifying intermediate hosts is also significant for mitigating the negative effects of infectious diseases. During the COVID-19 pandemic, scholars have also proposed a mathematical model to identify possible intermediate host species of emerging zoonoses based on ecological data of species and epidemiological data of pathogens [138] . Mathematical models could also inform the development, licensing, and decision-making of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines [139] .…”

“…Royce et al . proposed that mink, pangolin, and ferret are the intermediate hosts of SARS-CoV-2 through a new mathematical model method ( Royce, 2021 ). However, molecular biology and phylogenetic analysis showed that pangolin coronavirus (pangolin-CoV-2020) was genetically related to SARS-CoV-2, but SARS-CoV-2 was not directly derived from pangolin-CoV-2020 ( P Liu et al., 2020 ; Xiao et al., 2021 ).…”

“…It emerged in Wuhan China and spread throughout China and globally through human mobility. Bats are believed to be the natural host of SARS-CoV-2 while zoonotic transfer and spillover through mammals such as ferrets, pangolins and mink are thought to be potential intermediate hosts to infect humans [1][2][3][4]. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) [1] on 30 January 2020.…”

COVID-19 remains a communicable disease with the capacity to cause substantial damage to health and health systems. Enhanced health screening at points of entry (POEs) is a public health measure implemented to support early detection, prevention and response to communicable diseases, such as COVID-19. The purpose of this study was to review the available evidence on the effectiveness of POE health screening in the detection and containment of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was registered under PROSPERO and followed PRISMA guidelines in which the literature between 2019 and 2022 was retrieved from Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Global Health, CINAHL, Embase, Google Scholar and international organizations. A total of 33,744 articles were screened for eligibility, from which 43 met the inclusion criteria. The modeling studies predicted POE screening able to detect COVID-19 in a range of 8.8% to 99.6%, while observational studies indicated a detection rate of 2% to 77.9%, including variants of concern depending on the screening method employed. The literature also indicated these measures can delay onset of the epidemic by 7 to 32 days. Based on our review findings, if POE screening measures are implemented in combination with other public health interventions such as rapid tests, they may help detect and reduce the spread of COVID-19.
