A novel coronavirus emerged in human populations and spread rapidly to cause the global coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Although the origin of the associated virus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2]) remains unclear, genetic evidence suggests that bats are a reservoir host of the virus, and pangolins are a probable intermediate. SARS-CoV-2 has crossed the species barrier to infect humans and other animal species, and infected humans can facilitate reverse-zoonotic transmission to animals. Considering the rapidly changing interconnections among people, animals, and ecosystems, traditional roles of veterinarians should evolve to include transdisciplinary roles.
一种新型冠状病毒在人群中出现并迅速传播，导致了2019年全球冠状病毒病大流行。尽管相关病毒（严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 [SARS-CoV-2]）的起源尚不清楚，但基因证据表明蝙蝠是该病毒的储存宿主，穿山甲可能是中间宿主。SARS-CoV-2跨越物种屏障感染人类和其他动物物种，而受感染的人类可促进反向人畜共患病传播给动物。鉴于人与动物及生态系统之间的联系迅速变化，兽医的传统角色应有所发展，纳入跨学科角色。
