The virus has been found repeatedly in swine and has been detected in a dog, cats, turkeys, and domestic ferrets and in nondomestic animals, including skunks, cheetahs, and giant anteaters (2?4). In some cases, animal-to-animal transmission may have occurred, raising concern about the development of new wildlife reservoirs (2).
