trueinfections, to random

Questions that I've not seen investigated are:

  • To what degree are feral / peridomestic cats now a reservoir?
  • To what degree do cats catch SARS CoV 2 from rodent prey?
  • Do coinfections of FECV and SARS CoV 2 in cats ever results in recombination?

One can imagine the virus developing in rodents and deer and then from rodents to cats.

trueinfections,

Mink farms are complexes of caged mink, escaped mink, wild mink, peridomestic cats and feral cats. Presumably the virus could be developing in the caged mink and then spread to those outside. The virus also could be developing in rodents / deer and then from there to the free mink, peridomestic and feral cats and from there to the caged mink. Once in the caged mink, a variant can then spread to people. #SarsCoV2 #COVID19 #zoonosis

trueinfections,

Tangentially, Russia and China have large fur farms. Is there a single report of SARS CoV 2 at any of these?
