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.
