Since May 2020, we have been conducting a comprehensive study to understand the natural history of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Our focus has been on following families, systematically collecting respiratory tract swabs and blood samples, monitoring symptoms, and gathering data on vaccine status. This paper aims to describe the household cohort across five epidemic waves of SARS-CoV-2, providing an overview of the collected data and a description of the epidemiological, clinical, and immunological characteristics and incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

- * Out of 39 pets observed, about 31% of dogs and 40% of cats showed signs of infection or had antibodies for the virus, with some test results persisting several weeks after the initial human diagnosis.
- * The study suggests that pet owners with COVID-19 should minimize close contact with their pets to reduce the risk of transmission, especially since some infected animals exhibited mild illness symptoms.
