Resumen

Se realiza una revisión de las fuentes bibliográficas donde se destaca el papel de los animales silvestres y otras especies como fuente de transmisión del coronavirus COVID-19, pandemia que se ha convertido en una emergencia a nivel mundial. En teoría es posible que el virus SARS-CoV-2 conserve la capacidad de infectar a muchos mamíferos, incluidos pangolines, perros, gatos y hámster chino. En la evolución de la epidemia por SARS-CoV-2 resalta el murciélago como principal reservorio, en tanto se mantienen en estudio varias especies de animales silvestres. No hay indicios de que los animales de compañía, especialmente perros y gatos sean una fuente de infección para humanos.
