Abstract

The CoVet project proposes to conduct a large-scale temporal serological study of the infection of companion animals with SARS-CoV-2, during the second epidemic wave of Covid-19 in France. Around 6,500 blood samples from various animal species (dogs, cats and other small mammals) will be collected. It aims to quickly provide the necessary information on the frequency of contamination of pets from their owners, as well as the variability of these infections depending on the animal species or any other risk factor.
