Widespread in Wildlife: Tracking the Silent Spread of COVID-19
Tracking the genetic code of the COVID-19 virus revealed that six out of 23 commonly studied wildlife species in Virginia exhibited signs of SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Research from Virginia Tech has found widespread presence of SARS-CoV-2 among various wildlife species in Virginia, with evidence of human-to-animal transmission and novel viral mutations, highlighting the necessity for enhanced surveillance and research on the virus’s behavior in different hosts.
