Abstract

This article discusses the concept of "One Health," which recognizes the interconnectedness between humans, animals, and the environment. It focuses on the issue of reverse zoonosis, which refers to the transmission of pathogens from humans to animals. The study specifically examines the occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 reverse zoonosis among cats in China. The research found a 1.5% positivity rate for SARS-CoV-2 among infected cats, with the Omicron variant being detected. The study highlights the need for targeted surveillance and precautionary measures to mitigate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 reinfections in cats and emphasizes the importance of a holistic One Health approach.
