Abstract

In recent years, a number of diseases have been observed in humans that have their beginning in animal pathogens. The most recent example is the pandemic that shook the whole world - COVID-19. There have been many discussions about the onset of this disease, and since the pandemic was announced, in-depth research has been conducted on the pathogen and the development of the disease in humans. But research on the role of domestic animals in this pandemic has not been sufficiently studied. There are case reports of single cases or a small group of animals. There is a need to deepen research in that area. This mini-review examines and discusses some of the reported cases and aims to direct the scientific community to research on the role of domestic animals in the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective: To discuss the information about connection of the COVID-19 patients and the spread of the virus from their domestic animals.
