The results showed that no SARS‐CoV‐2‐specific antibodies were detected in above samples which excluded the possibility of 35 animal species as intermediate host for SARS‐CoV‐2. The results showed that no SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies were detected in above species of animals including pangolin which has been reported as an intermediate host of SARS-CoV-2 (Kangpeng Xiao, 2020) . After confirming the specificity, sensitivity and suitability of SARS-CoV-2 ELISA kit for different species of experimental animals, clinical serum samples from domestic livestock (pig, cow, sheep, horse), poultry (chicken, duck, goose), experimental animal (mice, rat and rhesus monkey), companion animal (dog and cat) and wild animals (camel, fox, mink, alpaca, ferret, bamboo rat, peacock, eagle, tiger rhinoceros, pangolin, leopard cat, jackal, giant panda, masked civet, porcupine, bear, yellow-throated marten, weasel, red pandas and wild boar) were used for antibody detection.	./cache/cord-281081-rifr5uub.txt	./txt/cord-281081-rifr5uub.txt
