ABSTRACT
In June 2021, Udom et al. published their article in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases performing a serological survey revealed evidence of anti-N-IgG antibodies suggesting SARS-CoV-2 exposure in both dogs and cats during the first and second coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks in Thailand. Seroprevalence studies have proven an important tool to monitor the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic. The duration of immunity of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for the course of the pandemic and for this reason the monitoring of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 is important. The serum samples from different periods and regions were valuable in terms of scientific significance for serological survey of SARS-CoV-2 and emerging infectious diseases. In order to preserve the remaining serum samples and ensure the stability of anti-virus antibodies in storage serum samples, we strongly suggest that standard serum banks should be established worldwide.
