According to the report of Sky News, this study has been published in the mBio Journal of the American Society for Microbiology. Researchers told that rats can also be affected by any corona variants like humans. According to scientists, it is not yet clear how these wild rats can get infected, for this they will have to do their own research and infect them. For research, those rats have to be caught which live near the sewage system. This operation will be done in Brooklyn with the permission of the local authorities. Similar research was done by the scientists between September and November 2021. Samples were collected from 79 rats caught and found that 13 of them were infected with the corona virus.
