To determine their potential role as a source of human infection, we tested domestic dogs (urban) and wild coatis (wild) in Brazil for vaccinia virus. Our findings of positive neutralizing antibodies and quantitative PCR results for 35/184 dogs and 13/90 coatis highlight a potential public health risk.
为了确定它们作为人类感染源的潜在作用,我们在巴西对家养狗(城市)和野生浣熊(野生)进行了痘苗病毒检测。我们发现 184 只狗中有 35 只是阳性中和抗体,90 只浣熊中有 13 只是阳性定量 PCR 结果,这突出了潜在的公共卫生风险。
