Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, there have been more and more studies and case-reports regarding the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to several animal species. In cats, SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility was proved through experimental infection and natural settings (direct contact with infected humans). In this paper, the real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase-chain-reaction (rRT-PCR) results obtained from four cats living in SARS-CoV-2-infected households in Bucharest (Romania) were described. All cases were indoor cats living in close contact with infected owners (in one household, owners were asymptomatic and, in the other households, owners had mild clinical signs). All the cats were lethargic and had a moderate loss of appetite. One cat was slightly dyspnoeic. The genomic material was extracted from deep oropharyngeal swabs using the QIAamp cador Pathogen Mini Kit. The rRT-PCR analysis used the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel and primers designed to detect the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein gene, supplied by Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT, USA). The sample from the cat living with an asymptomatic family was negative, while cats of owners with clinical signs provided positive results, as follows: Ct_(Cat#1)=27.04, Ct_(Cat#2)=24.13, and Ct_(Cat#4)=35.0. Results revealed the risk of indoor cats’ infection with SARS-CoV-2 in households where owners have COVID-19, especially if they show clinical signs.

The environmental temperature exceeding either the inferior or the superior limit of the thermo-neutrality zone may lead to thermal stress, due to the cold or the heat. This study was conducted in order to determine the changes in hematological and biochemical parameters of dogs exposed to thermal stress. A total of 20 dogs were randomly divided into two groups (10 per group). Group 1 (control group) was exposed to an environmental temperature of 15±1ºC, while the second group to 40±2ºC, to induce thermal stress caused by the heat. Blood samples were collected and subjected to investigations. This study showed that the blood sugar level significantly increased in group 2. However, PCV, Hb, and also cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein, and albumin levels were significantly decreased in the experimental group. At the same time, MCH, MCHC, WBC and the globulin levels did not show any significant changes from the control group. It was concluded that thermal stress in dogs could negatively affect the mechanism of thermal regulation in dissipating excess body temperature, so their general condition may change considerably.

Swarming is the natural phenomenon that involves the reproduction of the bee species. The name swarm comes from one of the phases of the multiplication process that takes place in the form of a multitude of flying bees, with one or more queens and drones, forming in the air a globular shape, "swarm", on their way from the hive to the temporary or permanent destination. The study follows the importance of the favoring and the determining factors of Apis mellifera carpatica bees swarming, in order to develop good management strategies and describes the stages of the swarming phenomenon, from the preparation for swarming to leaving the hive. The main factors that led to the swarming of the four bee families were the overcrowding in the hive, the blockage of the hive with honey and pollen and the poor management of the apiary.
