Animal lovers have a better immune system even with covid19 ? - Dog owners have more harmless courses with covid19 ? (Results of Italian studies)

  • [size=14]It is a well-known positive effect that the immune system is "trained" in people who come into contact with animals. This can help animal lovers in times of Corona in a positive sense, because everything that strengthens the immune system is helpful right now. In addition to healthy eating, this also includes contact with animals. At least contact with animals is not harmful, as some "panic spirits" would like to spread. The results of Italian studies, which we quote below, also fit in with this. "According to a recent and respected study theorized by a team of Italian scientists, those who have a dog as a pet or are in contact with a bovine may be at lower risk of developing Covid-19 and the symptoms are weakened above average. This option is being led by a research team led by scientists from the University of Magna Græcia in Catanzaro in collaboration with the Department of Veterinary Science at the University of Milan, the Department of Basic Biotechnology, the Intensive Care and Perioperative Clinics of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart and the Department of Laboratory and Infection Sciences at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Gemelli IRCCS. As we read in the press release from the University of Catanzaro, those who are in close contact with a dog or even cattle may develop less aggressive symptoms of Covid-19 in the future because "the immunoreactive epitopes of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus show a high homology with proportions of immunogenic proteins which are involved in the etiopathogenesis of some animal coronaviruses which are taxonomically related to SARS-CoV-2 ". Simply put, the strains of the coronavirus that circulate naturally in the organisms of dogs and cattle are similar to the pathogen that caused the outbreak of the new strain Sars-Covid-19. Our immune system would actually be "prepared" to recognize it and to combat it in some way based on similar reactive principles. Because coronaviruses in dogs and cattle are similar to the S protein ("spike") of Sars-Covid-19, the immune system of those who are exposed to it may be able to better intercept the pathogen and take the necessary countermeasures seize to fight it and then exterminate it. A theory led by teams led by Paola Roncada that is still waiting for scientific confirmation through ad hoc epidemiological studies, but surely the results of the Italian university seem really fascinating.
