Could new strains of COVID evolve in farm animals or pets?
It appears no one is safe from severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Given that SARS-CoV-2 likely developed in bats and later transmitted to humans in Wuhan, China, there has been concern over animals infecting humans. But more evidence has shown that humans are more likely to infect animals from hamsters, gorillas to the domestic cat.
Most animals infected with SARS-CoV-2 do not develop serious illnesses like humans. But with the coronavirus evolving to become more contagious and deadly, there is a chance animals get infected and become a breeding ground for more variants.
