ANOTHER DIMENSION OF THE PANDEMIC: DOMESTIC ANIMALS INFECTED BY SARS-COV-2

The Coronavirus Pandemic had multiple implications in different aspects of society. Here we summarize another dimension of consequences, by investigating case reports of Sars-CoV-2 in domestic animals. For this, we performed a systematic literature review and scientometrics analysis. We obtained 428 reports, involving cats, dogs, ferrets, hamsters, and minks, from 34 countries. Cats were the most affected animals. United States presented the highest number of reports. Considering evidence of reverse transmission and the potential risk of virus mutation involving animals, it is important to understand the role of susceptible pets and farm animals in the transmission dynamics.
