Section move proposal
Information contained in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_coronavirus#Canine_respiratory_coronavirus belongs in the article https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Betacoronavirus_1. This article is specifically about Alphacoronavirus. The term canine coronavirus does not refer to all species of coronavirus that infect dogs, but specifically the Alphacoronavirus species. I propose this section be moved and include a link directing those looking for canine respiratory coronavirus. If there are no objections, I will move this section.

 * Last month (December 2020) I attended a 2-day NASEM OneHealth workshop with veterinary researchers and veterinarians, in which (among other topics) the issue of companion animal vulnerabilities (they were being studied as possible sentinels for human disease risks) was addressed. The statement made was, despite the (possible) role of animal reservoirs in the rise and spread of SARS CoV-2, the current belief among relevant working scientists is that humans are not at risk of animals spreading coronavirus (we can't get it from them, we think), but there is some evidence that humans MIGHT spread some variant(s) of SARS CoV-2 to companion animals (but evidence is very slight). So, IMO that topic needs further exploration, and equipoise may still (properly) apply, although there may not yet be enough scientific and sponsor interest in prioritizing this research topic.

Interesting info, but I'm not sure how it's relevant here? I'm not calling into question if coronavirus is zoonotic, merely that canine respiratory coronavirus is different than canine coronavirus. MarialeegRVT (talk) 21:00, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Its quite important to make it very clear that there are 2 specific canine coronavirus's - they are antigenically different - and involve different parts of the body entirely.. CCOV is enteric where as CRCOV is respiratory. They are in different corona virus groups. THe choices are really seperate the articles OR rename this page to be plural. benjicharlton (talk) 14:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
