Large-scale serological survey of SARS-CoV-2 in multiple rodent species across Europe biorxivpreprint helsinkiuni GUMedGdansk umontpellier UAntwerpen SARSCoV2 COVID19 coronavirus covid rodents
By Shanet Susan AlexAug 4 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in the bioRxiv* preprint server, scientists conducted severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 sero-surveillance in wild rodents across Europe.
On 6 December 2021, the FAO-OIE Advisory Group on SARS-CoV-2 Evolution in Animals stated that a significant gap in SARS-CoV-2 investigation was the absence of a sizable surveillance analysis of rodent populations exposed to human interaction. Given the high biodiversity and widespread presence of rodents, it is necessary to conduct more extensive surveillance research across various habitats, continents, and non-commensal rodent species.
Results Collectively, the study results depicted that all except one analyzed sample had SARS-CoV-2 seronegative status. The team tested the one presumed positive animal two times by IF and found it unmistakably positive both times. The animal was a wood mouse, i.e., Apodemus sylvaticus, sampled on 6 April 2021 in a city park close to Antwerp, Belgium.
