Table 1. Percentage amino acid identity of canine and feline coronavirus spike and nucleocapsid proteins with SARS-CoV-2 proteins, the Netherlands*.

Genus Virus SARS-CoV-2
N S S1 RBD
Betacoronavirus CRCoV 32.4 28.5 20.0 15.6
Alphacoronavirus FCoV type I 29.0 24.0 16.8 7.7
Alphacoronavirus FcoV type II 27.8 25.3 17.7 8.9
Alphacoronavirus CCoV 28.0 25.1 16.9 8.9

*SARS-CoV-2, CRCoV, FCoV type I, FCoV type II, CCoV (GB: NC_045512.2, JX860640.1, FJ938060.1, AY994055.1, KC175341.1). Amino acid sequences were aligned by using Clustal W (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalo), and pairwise identities were calculated by using the needle method in the EMBOSS pairwise alignment algorithms program (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/psa/emboss_needle). CCoV, canine coronavirus; CRCoV, canine respiratory coronavirus; FCoV, feline coronavirus, N, nucleocapsid protein; RBD, receptor-binding domain; S, spike protein; SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; S1, spike protein subunit 1.
