ACE2 and infection: Information about a specific cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), for SARS-CoV-2 infection has been identified in many animal species (6, 7); hence, infection of other animals by this virus is possible, and infections have been reported (as of 30 April 2022) in animals (8) such as cats, dogs, minks, otters, pet ferrets, lions, tigers, pumas, snow leopards, gorillas, white-tailed and mule deer, fishing cats, binturongs, coatimundis, spotted hyenas, Canada lynx, hippopotamuses, hamsters, giant anteaters, West Indian manatees, and marmosets in various countries (8).
