Description
Anisleidy Perez Castillo and co-authors check, in a 2024 study, zoo animals in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for the COVID virus. A virus that jumps to wild stock could form a pool that sparks fresh outbreaks in people. The team took throat, nose, and rectal swabs from 47 captive mammals from late 2021 to early 2023. Lab tests sought the virus, and hits were read in full to name the strain and place it on the virus family tree.
Nine animals, about 19 percent, tested as carriers. Rectal swabs gave the most hits of the three kinds. Three genomes were read in full. Two strains showed up: the Alpha form in a maned wolf and a fallow deer, and a second form in a third animal. The work shows zoo checks can catch spread that would else pass unseen.
