cord-297775-ug4ovsws	Hosie, Margaret J	Respiratory disease in cats associated with human-to-cat transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the UK	2020-09-23		.txt	text/plain	1997	118	54	High throughput sequencing of the virus from cat 2 revealed that the feline viral genome contained five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) compared to the nearest UK human SARS-CoV-2 sequence. Recent reports from Dutch mink farms of both mink-to-cat and mink-tohuman transmission of the virus provide support for this scenario (5, 9) We used a range of laboratory techniques to show that two domestic cats from households with suspected cases of COVID-19, and which displayed either mild or severe respiratory disease, were infected with SARS-CoV-2. As we do not have the owner's virus sequence, we cannot determine whether the observed mutations in cat 2's viral genome arose in a human prior to transmission. Table 1 details the SNPs observed in the cat 2 viral genome, and their frequency in the existing UK human population and among existing feline SARS-CoV-2 sequences.	./cache/cord-297775-ug4ovsws.txt	./txt/cord-297775-ug4ovsws.txt
