#SARS-CoV-2 and Other #Coronaviruses in #Rats, #Berlin, #Germany, 2023, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/10/24-1079_article
We tested 130 rats captured in Berlin for coronaviruses. SARS-CoV-2 #antibodies were detected in 1 rat, but all animals were negative by reverse transcription PCR, suggesting SARS-CoV-2 was not circulating in the rat population. However, #alphacoronaviruses were found. Monitoring rodent populations helps to determine coronavirus occurrence, transmission, and zoonotic potential.
