The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University $4,997,658 under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care federal grant program (CFDA 10.025) on June 1, 2023 for a project period ending May 31, 2025.

The university will use mathematical modeling, field sampling, genomic surveillance, biochemical analysis, and immunological studies to expand knowledge of species susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2. This includes evaluating which animal species are most important for maintaining and transmitting SARS-CoV-2, examining transmission pathways between humans, wildlife and companion animals, and determining SARS-CoV-2 mutations associated with different hosts and their impact on infectivity and immune escape. Eurofins will provide next-generation sequencing to test swabs and Eppendorf will provide liquid handlers and maintenance for objectives one and four. The project aims to enhance understanding of the role of animals in SARS-CoV-2 maintenance and provide information for public health surveillance programs and agricultural/wildlife managers.
