    Since the beginning of the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has been reported to be infected and transmitted by several animals in addition to humans


    Researchers at the University of Bern and the Institute of Virology and Immunology (IVI) used their well-differentiated airway epithelial cell (AEC) culture library extracted from various domestic and wild animal species to evaluate their effects on SARS-CoV-2 Susceptibility


    This work was published in "Emerging Infectious Diseases"


    The team collected a large number of cell cultures from various domestic and wild animal species

    "Our collection is unique.


     

    The researchers found that the results of in vitro experiments are very consistent with previously published studies using animal experiments to assess the susceptibility of different animals to SARS-CoV-2 infection
