Latent/carrier
Research Question
- Identification of latent/carrier hosts, with a particular focus on wildlife and pets
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Resistant and persistently-infected animals can influence coronavirus containment. Understanding and addressing this will require longitudinal and lifetime studies which are expensive to conduct
- Emergence of drug-resistant isolates makes it difficult to identify infectious strains
Solution Routes
- Long-term studies, especially in wildlife and pets
Dependencies
- Availability of funding and appropriate resource to conduct long-term studies
