SARS-CoV-2 was a worldwide threat during the COVID-19 |
|
pandemic, and the state of Mato Grosso had the second |
|
highest mortality rate in Brazil, with 427. 4 |
|
deaths/100,000 inhabitants. However, no large-scale study |
|
among dogs and cats in such highly infected areas of |
|
Brazil has so far been conducted. Accordingly, the |
|
present study reports on a serosurvey among dogs and cats |
|
in Cuiab , capital of Mato Grosso from November 2020 to |
|
July 2021, where the human mortality rate was 605/100,000 |
|
at that time. Overall, 33/762 dogs (4.3%) and 4/182 cats |
|
(2.2%) were found to be seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 |
|
through ELISA, and 3/762 dogs (0.4%) and 3/182 cats |
|
(1.6%) were seropositive through the serum neutralization |
|
test. Cats presented higher seroprevalence with higher |
|
titers of neutralizing antibodies. Although N-protein |
|
based ELISA may be a good screening test, cross- |
|
reactivity with other canine coronaviruses may impair its |
|
diagnostic use among dogs. |
