Curious? Will dogs suffer from SARS? The answer is: No. SARS is a virus, and dogs will not be infected with SARS.
There is currently no evidence that dogs can be infected with SARS, and there is no evidence that SARS can be transmitted through dogs or cats.
In a report published by People's Daily in 2003, a professor of epidemiology at China Agricultural University told reporters that the original coronavirus is divided into humans and animals, and the coronaviruses of cats, dogs and wild animals can cause diseases in animals.
According to the gene analysis and pathogenicity of SARS viruses, the source of the new virus may be the result of mutations in the animal coronavirus, or the genetic recombination of human coronaviruses and animal coronaviruses.
However, various coronaviruses will not only not spread to each other between humans and animals, but also between different animals.
Zhang Xiaoqin, Secretary-General of the Beijing Association for the Protection of Small Animals, told reporters: "People's panic is understandable, but this practice of abandoning animals and killing pet cats and dogs has no scientific basis first, and secondly, it is an act that is irresponsible to animals and society, and should be stopped."
