We report a high rate of seropositivity against SARS-CoV-2 in wild felines in India. Seropositivity was determined by microneutralization and plaque reduction neutralization assays in captive Asiatic lions, leopards, and Bengal tigers. The rate of seropositivity was positively correlated with that of the incidence in humans, suggesting the occurrence of large spillover events.
我们报告了印度野生猫科动物中 SARS-CoV-2 的高血清阳性率。通过对圈养的亚洲狮、豹和孟加拉虎进行微量中和和蚀斑减少中和试验来确定血清阳性率。血清阳性率与人类发病率呈正相关,表明发生了大量溢出事件。
