Abstract
Background and Aim: The Covid-19 pandemic was strongly suspected of having originated from viruses in bats, and pangolins were transmitted to humans. In fact, Covid-19 has been reported to infect several animal species such as pangolins, cats, tigers, dogs, chimpanzees. The SARS-CoV-2 virus was also found in bats in 2012, long before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. On the other hand, human-to-human infections have been effectively reported with a value of R0:2, which means that one infected person can infect two susceptible people. Covid-19 infection in cats has been found, but infection from cats to humans has never been reported. Especially the interaction of cats with other cats that cannot be avoided because of the large cat population. Like the high population of cats that roam around human settlements in Malang. Therefore, the dynamics of Covid-19 infection in feral cats need to be monitored for mitigation of the Covid-19 epidemic in humans in the future. Materials and Methods: This research was conducted using a risk-based survey method, with a sample of 30 stray cats in the Pasar Besar in Malang City that showed symptoms and or no symptoms of respiratory disease. Detection is carried out using the Covid-19 rapid antigen test. Results: The results of this research show that 5 of 74 cat samples found in the coordinate distribution of the Pasar Besar Malang area and 27 other cats were negative byRapid Test Ag testing, swab samples from the nasal, palate, and anal (bulk samples), showed that 15% being male cats, and 85% are female cats over one year of age. Conclusions: From these results, it still provides data that it is necessary to be aware of the potential for results that are likely to be found with a wider and more diverse sample and further longitudinal studies should be carried out to confirm this study.
