ANIMALS IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION DURING COVID-19

Are they still alive?,Animals in Danger of Extinction during COVID19,Student: Brenda souverbille Flores,COVID-19 and endangered animals,While COVID-19 is almost exclusively a human disease, it's clear there can be spillover into animals. That's probably of greatest concern in pets, because of the amount of contact we have with them and the susceptibility of some pet species (especially cats and ferrets). However, while we have less contact with other types of animals, there might still be important implications. We don't know the range of species that can be affected and the potential animal health impacts in each species. We also don't want this virus establishing itself in wild animals. Ultimately, we want to keep this a "human problem" by preventing movement into animal populations, for the sake of animals and ourselves.,Animlas in risk,Gorillas,Gorillas are closely related to humans and probably quite susceptible to this virus. The last thing wild gorilla populations need is COVID-19 spreading through them. This is resulting in park closures to protect the animals, with potentially major impacts to local economies (and the parks that protect the animals). Enforcement will be the challenge. Measures are already in place to protect animals from exposure to human respiratory viruses in many parks, and they're often flouted.,Tigers,The outbreak of COVID-19 in lions and tigers at the Bronx Zoo raised concerns about risks to wild tiger populations. While there's less human contact with those animals, they often live in fairly (surprisingly) close proximity to people, and there can (normally) be a lot of people visiting parks and reserves. The risk of infection is probably low, but we want to avoid any health hazards in threatened or endangered populations if we can.A recent ProMed mail post discussed COVID-19 in a tiger at Pench Tiger Reserve in India. It's unclear whether the tiger actually had COVID-19. It seems that park staff were concerned because of the reports of COVID-19 at the Bronx Zoo and that their response (i.e. quarantine of staff, banning visitors from the park) was out of abundance of caution rather than an actual diagnosis. Regardless, it's something that needs to be considered in areas where people can get close to wild cats.,Bats,Since this virus almost certainly originated in a bat, there's concern about it moving back to bats. While the bats species we have in North America are quite different from the suspected source bat species (i.e. Chinese horseshoe bat), we'd rather prevent our native bats from being exposed rather than hope that they're just not effective hosts. Normal research and surveillance activities that put people into bat environments are being curtailed in many areas to reduce the risk that we'll expose bats. We have no idea what the risk is, but it's better to be prudent than to have to do damage control.,The first dog was a 17-year-old Pomeranian. Covid-19 was isolated from nasal and oral swabs shortly after it arrived in quarantine, and it had positive nasal swab results multiple times over 13 days. It also produced antibodies against the virus (seroconverted). The repeated isolation of the virus and seroconversion are convincing evidence that the dog was infected. However, it did not have any apparent signs of illness from Covid-19. It died shortly after its quarantine ended but that was attributed to its old age and other issues, not the virus (see figure below for timeline info).,Covid-19 in dogs,First case,second case,The 2nd dog was a 2.5-year-old German Shepherd, one of two dogs in the household of another COVID-19-infected person. The virus was detected from sets of oral and nasal swabs collected on arrival and the next day, but further samples were negative shortly thereafter. Rectal swabs were also collected at the second sampling time and were positive. This dog also seroconverted and remained healthy.,Unsurprisingly, when they looked at the genetic sequence of viruses from the dogs and their respective owners, viral sequences from the dogs were identical to those from their owners (and sequences from the two households were different). This supports the assumption that the dogs were infected by their owners.,The other cat was the 2nd reported positive cat from France. This cat had respiratory disease that was non-responsive to antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, and it's quite possible those signs were the result of COVID-19, but we can't rule out other underlying causes based on the available information.,Another couple of infected cats have been identified, one from Germany and one from France.,Cats infected with covid-19,Fist case,The German cat's owner was in a retirement home with an ongoing outbreak, and had died of COVID-19. The cat was infected, while two other cats at the facility were negative. The cat was healthy, as seems to be fairly common with infected cats.,Second case,References:https://www.mayoclinic.org/es-es/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/expert-answers/can-pets-get-coronavirus/faq-20486391https://www.ecologiaverde.com/los-animales-en-mayor-peligro-de-extincion-375.htmlhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com.es/naturaleza/grandes-reportajes/animales-peligro-extincion_12536
