The study of the new coronavirus has placed public health bodies around the world’s entire focus on human health. Yet, it has been forgotten that the virus’ characteristics are zoonotic – disease characteristics that normally exist in animals but can be transmitted to people. This situation should urge scientists and medical professionals to do more research on assistance animals as well.

It has been proven by scientific study that infected animals pass the infection to humans. But, there is little research done to show exactly how SARS-CoV-2 behaves while infecting animals in general. Prof. Tracey McNamara, Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, CA, along with her colleagues argues that “[a]bsence of evidence is not the same thing as evidence of absence.”
