We assessed 2 wild canid species, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and coyotes (Canis latrans), for susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2. After experimental inoculation, red foxes became infected and shed infectious virus. Conversely, experimentally challenged coyotes did not become infected; therefore, coyotes are unlikely to be competent hosts for SARS-CoV-2.

野生犬科动物对 SARS-CoV-2 的易感性

我们评估了 2 种野生犬科动物，红狐 ( Vulpes vulpes ) 和土狼 ( Canis latrans ) 对 SARS-CoV-2 的易感性。实验接种后，赤狐被感染并散发传染性病毒。相反，经过实验攻击的土狼没有被感染。因此，郊狼不太可能成为 SARS-CoV-2 的有效宿主。
