We assessed 2 wild canid species, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and coyotes (Canis latrans), for susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2. After experimental inoculation, red foxes became infected and shed infectious virus. Conversely, experimentally challenged coyotes did not become infected; therefore, coyotes are unlikely to be competent hosts for SARS-CoV-2.
我们评估了 2 种野生犬科动物,红狐(Vulpes vulpes)和郊狼(Canis latrans),以确定它们对 SARS-CoV-2 的易感性。在实验接种后,红狐被感染并排出了具有感染性的病毒。相反,实验性挑战的郊狼并未被感染;因此,郊狼不太可能是 SARS-CoV-2 的有效宿主。
