一只11岁的雄性混种猫，完全在室内生活，在主人通过RT-PCR检测SARS-CoV-2阳性后出现3次咳嗽发作。该房屋居住着5人（3名成人和2名儿童），其中2名成人表现出与喉咙不适相关的轻微症状。该猫接种了疫苗，无任何既往病史，猫冠状病毒（FCoV）、猫免疫缺陷病毒（FIV）和猫白血病病毒（FeLV）检测结果呈阴性。经RT-PCR检测，该猫的直肠标本为SARS-CoV-2阳性。从人和猫样品中回收的病毒基因组序列显示平均99.4%的序列同一性。这是首次报道从拉丁美洲的一只猫及其主人身上发现的SARS-CoV-2基因组序列。
An 11-year-old male mixed-breed cat, with exclusively indoor life, presented 3 cough episodes after the owners tested positive by RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2. The house is inhabited by 5 people (3 adults and 2 children), and 2 of the adults have shown mild symptoms associated with throat discomfort. The cat was vaccinated, had no history of any previous disease, and tested negative for feline coronavirus (FCoV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukaemia virus (FeLV). Rectal sample collected from the cat was positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR. Viral genome sequences recovered from human and cat samples showed an average 99.4% sequence identity. This is the first report of genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 recovered from a cat and its owner in Latin America.
