Researchers at OSU have teamed up to look for SARS-CoV-2 in environments outside of humans. Author: Angela Reighard Updated: 12:52 AM EST February 3, 2021
COLUMBUS, Ohio While we ve learned a great deal about the virus that causes COVID-19, there is still a lot to learn. Having surveillance in place to predict and prevent those future outbreaks is why this project originated, said Dr. Vanessa Hale, assistant professor of veterinary preventive medicine. What other animals can get it and can there be a future spillover event? Could there be an animal here in Ohio that could pick up SARS-CoV-2 and keep it in its body and potentially cause another spillover event in the future?

What Role Will India Play In The Global COVID-19 Vaccine Narrative?
By Gunjan Bagla
While most Americans are focused on the incredible success of the COVID-19 vaccines developed and produced by Pfizer and Moderna under the $24 billion Operation Warp Speed, there is under-reported news from India that bears a closer look. The country plans to vaccinate its billion plus population using a combination of vaccines manufactured locally and its government donated millions of doses across 10 countries in parallel with a national domestic rollout. Indian companies will soon sign deals to sell their COVID vaccines globally.

Experts explain how a dog can be trained to smell the coronavirus and if it’s an effective way of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
The Miami Heat plans to allow a limited number of fans into its AmericanAirlines Arena starting Jan. 28, and team officials just announced an unusual way of trying to keep everyone safe from COVID-19: coronavirus-sniffing dogs.
“In an effort to further enhance arena guest and staff safety, all individuals will be scanned by a COVID-19 detection dog upon arrival,” the team says on its website.
Cats with chronic kidney disease can now live longer, better lives than ever before.
“It’s been a very exciting time over the last decade or so in that we’ve really enhanced our abilities to diagnose and detect chronic kidney disease,” said Dr. Shelly L. Vaden, a professor of internal medicine at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. “We’ve also made many improvements in medical management.”
Dr. Vaden was speaking during the New Therapeutic Approaches to Chronic Care Symposium at the AVMA Virtual Convention 2020 this past August. Another convention presentation focused on RenalTech, a new tool from Antech Diagnostics that uses artificial intelligence to predict which cats will develop chronic kidney disease in the next two years.
