One Health Surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 in Non-Human Primates and Small Mammals in Minas Gerais, Brazil

Pathogens, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(4), P. 356 - 356

Published: April 6, 2025

Although the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic primarily affected human population, virus has also been detected in various animal species worldwide, raising concerns about its potential to establish new reservoirs. This study aimed investigate presence of non-human primates (NHPs) and synanthropic small mammals (SSMs) Jequitinhonha Valley Northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. Between October 2021 2023, 119 animals were sampled, 82 NHPs 37 SSMs, across 22 municipalities. A total 342 biological samples-including oral nasal swabs, lungs, livers, spleens, blood, feces-were collected analyzed using RT-qPCR, while serum samples submitted neutralization tests. Despite diversity sampled species, habitats, materials, no evidence infection or specific antibodies was any individuals tested. The results suggest that SSMs these regions did not act as reservoirs for during period. finding is particularly relevant given high synanthropy such Callithrix penicillata (black-tufted marmoset) Rattus rattus (black rat), which frequently interact with populations. Our underscores importance integrating animal, human, environmental health perspectives under a One Health framework monitor emerging zoonotic threats. By providing baseline data on dynamics wildlife, we emphasize need ongoing ecological epidemiological surveillance assess spillover events their implications biodiversity public

COVID‐19 in a common woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagothricha): First evidence of fatal outcome in a nonhuman primate after natural SARS‐CoV‐2 infection

American Journal of Primatology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 86(8)

Published: June 23, 2024

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was declared a pandemic the World Health Organization in March 2020. Since then, viral spread from humans to animals has occurred worldwide. Nonhuman primates (NHPs) have been found be susceptible reverse-zoonosis transmission of SARS-CoV-2, but initial research suggested that platyrrhine are less than catarrhine primates. Here we report natural SARS-CoV-2 infection common woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagothricha) wildlife rehabilitation center Ecuador. The course disease, eventual death specimen, and pathological findings described. Our results show susceptibility new species provide evidence for first time COVID-19-associated naturally infected NHP. putative route humans, implications captive NHPs management, also discussed. Given monkeys at risk extinction Ecuador, further understanding potential threat their health should conservation priority. A One approach is best way protect virus same would human population.

In vitro digestion of SARS-CoV-2 contaminated berries reveals high inactivation of infectious virus during gastrointestinal passage

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 89(12)

Published: Nov. 20, 2023

During the pandemic, news outlets occasionally reported on detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA various foods, raising concerns over contaminated foods initiating infections. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients often experience gastrointestinal symptoms and shed SARS-CoV-2 in their feces. In addition, active virus replication tract was shown; however, infectious viruses were rarely detected We previously showed that remained frozen berries for at least a month. Here,

Disinfection effect of ozonated water on SARS-CoV-2 in the presence of salivary proteins

Journal of Hospital Infection, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 155, P. 209 - 215

Published: Nov. 14, 2024

Ozonated water is expected to be an effective disinfectant for SARS-CoV-2 present on environmental fomites; however, ozone consumed by organic substances, resulting in attenuation of its effect. saliva can contaminate surfaces; therefore, it essential understand the effect substances properties ozonated water.
