Abstract

COVID-19 has become a growing public health concern due to high rates of mortality and morbidity, imposing a substantial economic burden on various developing countries. Coronaviruses (CoV) are responsible for various respiratory and intestinal infections in animals and humans, and viral spillover effectively occurs in this context. A systematic review was conducted using the following search tools: PubMed, BVS, ScienceDirect (Elsevier), Scopus (Elsevier), and the CAPES Journal, aiming to survey COVID-19 in dogs and cats, investigate the positivity of caregivers for COVID-19, describe the techniques used, verify the biological materials utilized, and examine the use of genetic sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The research was carried out from December 2022 to January 2023, spanning various regions of the world, including the United States, Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Iran, Argentina, and Ecuador. Sixteen articles were selected, of which 13 reported caregivers (81.25%) testing positive for COVID-19 while cohabiting with their pets. When cross-referencing data to assess positive caregivers, dogs, and cats, four articles (25.00%) confirmed these three variables. Some articles focused solely on caregivers and cats or caregivers and dogs. The results obtained here allowed for reflection on the true epidemiological situation globally and emphasized the importance of integrating the One Health concept with the monitoring of emerging zoonoses. This integration aims to classify them as effectively monitored zoonoses by public or private health authorities, with a focus on the well-being of the environment, animals, and humans.
