CONCLUSION
The nature of SARS-Cov-2, its wide distribution and the susceptibility
of some animal species to infection mean that close contact between
humans and animals can probably induce infections in animals. Since
scientific knowledge on COVID-19 drivers of emergence is scarce and
associated uncertainty high, expert elicitation of knowledge, in
addition with clustering and sensitivity analyses, is of prime
importance to prioritize future studies, starting from the top five
ranked drivers. The present methodology can also be applied to other pet
diseases in pets in order to anticipate decision-making and awareness.
