A comment on "Serological survey of SARS-CoV-2 for experimental, domestic, companion and wild animals excludes intermediate hosts of 35 different species of animals".

In May 2020, Deng et al. (2020) published their article in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases providing evidence that no SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies were detected in 1,914 samples which excluded the possibility of 35 animal species as intermediate host for SARS-CoV-2. In order to ensure the stability of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies in storaged serum samples, we strongly suggest that standard serum banks should be established.
