We tested 130 rats captured in Berlin for coronaviruses. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were detected in 1 rat, but all animals were negative by reverse transcription PCR, suggesting SARS-CoV-2 was not circulating in the rat population. However, alphacoronaviruses were found. Monitoring rodent populations helps to determine coronavirus occurrence, transmission, and zoonotic potential.
我们对在柏林捕获的 130 只老鼠进行了冠状病毒检测。在 1 只老鼠中检测到了 SARS-CoV-2 抗体,但所有动物的逆转录 PCR 均为阴性,这表明 SARS-CoV-2 并未在鼠群中传播。然而,我们发现了α冠状病毒。监测啮齿动物种群有助于确定冠状病毒的发生、传播和人畜共患潜力。
