- nradov 5y agoYes most mammal species can carry the virus. It has been detected in dogs, cats, deer, tigers, mink, hamsters, gorillas, etc. This is one of several reasons why the virus can never be eradicated.
- Izkata 5y agoOne of the possible origins of Omicron (not confirmed AFAIK) was a jump back to humans from rats, that had been infected with an early 2020 variant.
