Mammals that can potentially become infected with SAR-CoV-2. Low values mean a higher risk of infection.

We wanted to know which animals might be at risk for infection in view of further investigation and possible monitoring, '' said Christine Orengo of University College London in a commentary. Tigers, lions, cats, dogs, rabbits and ferrets were already known to be infected with the virus, but it has not yet been established that they are also contagious to other species. The fact that minks can be a source of infections, can infect each other and people with covid-can-infect each other and people has been proven on a large scale in the Netherlands.

Animal species sensitive to SARS-CoV-2 could serve as a reservoir, the researchers warn. That several mammals can carry virus is no surprise, according to the researchers. The current pandemic has zoonotic origins. The fact that companion animals and farm animals are also susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 is something to be aware of, as these animals are in close contact with humans.

I'm surprised to see dog lower than cat given that we've had confirmed symptomatic cases in cats and only antibody reactions in dogs to my knowledge.
