“…Role of companion animals in contributing to the transmission of the severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is of global interest in developing a holistic approach of any pandemic control. Since being always in a close contact with the owner, transmission of the virus from humans, dog, and cat, as the two most common companion animals (Meehan et al 2017;Shahzad et al 2021), is important to be investigated. This zoonotic occurrence is plausible since the catalyst of the pandemic of Covid-19 was indeed a zoonotic event from an animal origin to human being (Andersen et al 2020;Holmes et al 2021;Pekar et al 2021).…”

Surveillance for genetic markers of adaptation of SARS-CoV-2 in dogs and cats could help to predict the risk of variant emergence, that resulted from virus adaptation to the new host. The Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 collected from dog and cat is of high interest, since this variant caused global major cases and fatality during the pandemic. All complete and high coverage sequence data of Delta variant of dog and cat origin, as well as samples of human origin SARS-CoV-1 were downloaded. All selected sequence data were subjected to Clustal Omega alignment. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method using Mega11. Species-specific marker indicating a probable species adaptation of the pandemic SARS-CoV-2 in dog and cat could not be identified. The markers found in many dog and cat samples is confirmed to be location specific markers that occurred in human origin virus.
