Transmission of severe acute respiratory
coronavirus-2 (
SARS-CoV-2) between
livestock and
humans is a potential
public health concern. We demonstrate the susceptibility of
rabbits to
SARS-CoV-2, which excrete infectious
virus from the
nose and
throat upon experimental inoculation. Therefore, investigations on the presence of
SARS-CoV-2 in farmed
rabbits should be considered.
