Spillover of SARS-CoV-2 into a variety of wild and domestic animals has been an ongoing feature of the human pandemic. The establishment of a new reservoir in white-tailed deer in North America and increasing divergence of the viruses circulating in them from those circulating in the human population has highlighted the ongoing risk this poses for global health. Some parts of the world have seen more intensive monitoring of wildlife species for SARS-CoV-2 and related coronaviruses but there are still very large gaps in geographical and species-specific information. This paper reports negative results for SARS-CoV-2 PCR based testing using a pan coronavirus end point RDRP PCR and a Sarbecovirus specific E gene qPCR on lung and or gut tissue from wildlife from the Indian State of Kerala. These animals included: 121Rhinolophus rouxii(Rufous Horsehoe Bat),sixRhinolophus bedommei(Lesser Woolly Horseshoe Bat),15Rossettus leschenaultii(Fulvous Fruit Bat),47Macaca radiata(Bonnet macaques),35Paradoxurus hermaphroditus(Common Palm Civet),fiveViverricula indica(Small Indian Civet), fourHerpestes edwardsii(Common Mongoose),tenPanthera tigris(Bengal Tiger),eightPanthera pardus fusca(Indian Leopard), fourPrionailurus bengalensis(Leopard cats), twoFelis chaus(Jungle cats), twoCuon alpinus(Wild dogs) and oneMelursus ursinus(sloth bear).
