Dozens of captive animal species have been found infected or proven able to be experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The virus has also been found in over a dozen wild animal species. Most animal species that can get the virus have not been proven to be able to spread it back to humans.
Part of a series on the COVID-19 pandemic Scientifically accurate atomic model of the external structure of SARS-CoV-2. Each "ball" is an atom.

Coronavirus diseases are caused by viruses in the coronavirus subfamily, a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans and birds, the group of viruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal.
The most recent COVID-19 vaccine should offer protection against the XEC variant, Russo says. “The most recent version of the vaccine seems to be reasonably well-matched,” he says.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says there is no evidence that the novel coronavirus—the one that causes the pandemic illness known as COVID-19—can actually spread or ...
Scutigera coleoptrata, also known as the house centipede, is a species of centipede that is typically yellowish-grey and has up to 15 pairs of long legs. Originating in the Mediterranean region, it has spread to other parts of the world, where it can live in human homes. [1]
Dr. Schaffner points out that soap and water don’t technically kill norovirus—but they can help to get rid of the virus. “Soap and water actually lifts up the virus,” he says.
Several studies found only weak signs of adaptive evolution early in the COVID-19 pandemic. [c] Kang et al. wrote that SARS-CoV-2 had exhibited relatively little genetic variation by 2021. [47] Tai et al. wrote that population expansion rather than positive selection explained the mutation frequency spectrum during the early pandemic. [49]
