This revelation comes as the USDA announced the first official case of coronavirus in a dog, a German shepherd in New York.
Winston, the first dog believed to have contracted the coronavirus in the U.S., can now rest easy. The adorable, viral pug actually never had the virus, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has confirmed.
That dog, according to the USDA report published Tuesday, showed signs of respiratory illness after two of the dog's owners exhibited symptoms of COVID-19 and one of them tested positive. Another dog in the house did not test positive or show symptoms but had antibodies. "The weak detection ... from the original oral swab may be the result of contamination from the COVID-19 positive household," she said in a statement.
Dr. Shelley Rankin, a professor of veterinary microbiology at University of Pennsylvania who is unaffiliated with the Duke study, told USA TODAY that there may have been discrepancies in how research labs such as Duke's and veterinary diagnostic labs such as USDA's facilitate testing and the handling of the infected specimen.Rankin explained that false positives"can also occur if the original specimen had a very low number of organisms.
