PRO/AH/EDR> COVID-19 update (379): animal, rabbit, exptl infect, Netherlands, screening

COVID-19 -- Netherlands
Transmission of severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) between livestock and humans is a potential public health concern. We demonstrate the susceptibility of rabbits, which excrete infectious virus from the nose and throat upon experimental inoculation, to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, investigations on the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in farmed rabbits should be considered.
