Natural SARS-CoV-2 infection in dogs: Determination of viral loads, distributions, localizations, and pathology

This study considerably expanded on the knowledge of the pathology associated with natural SARS-CoV-2 infection in dogs, a scenario that is relatively infrequent but occasionally leads to fatal outcome. Furthermore, these findings suggest the potential utility of dogs as a model for studying SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans, warranting further investigation.PMID:37956819 | DOI:10.1016/j.actatropica.2023.107070
