The researchers said that the dog develops strong immunity against the emerging corona virus, regardless of the possibility of the infection turning into a disease and the symptoms appear.
And according to the “New York Times”, this response that gets in dogs may be useful for researchers who are developing vaccines.
There is no scientific evidence so far about the ability of these animals to transmit the virus, but it is known to researchers that a cat who becomes infected can transmit it to other cats.
And the scientists reported that they did not find traces of the virus in the respiratory system of the infected dogs, nor did they expose the infection to the outside.
The study published in the scientific newspaper “PNAS” stated that the cats and dogs that were infected with the emerging corona virus did not suffer from “Covid 19” and did not suffer any health deterioration.
The researchers published this study in order to be reassured that animals, pets in particular, do not pose a threat in light of the outbreak of the epidemic.
Academics and researchers from the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Colorado participated in the study.
The study indicated that reports about animal infection with the Coronavirus are very few, at a time when tens of millions of people were infected with the epidemic that appeared in China, in late 2019.
Since cats pick up the virus and can be shed from their body to the outside, many wonder about the reason, which makes this animal harmless, because it does not transmit the disease to humans, according to what is known so far.
And some experts believe that this matter is mainly due to the large number of people infected versus the lack of infections among cats, and therefore, it is the person who transmits the infection to the animal, and not the other way around.
The researchers put an amount of the virus in the noses of the animals, after they were subjected to anesthesia, and when they woke up, they had contact with other animals.
