Yeah. There’s a lot of analogues of different diseases in animals out there. Fortunately, most such things specialize in certain animals - not many communicable diseases that jump the species barrier (eg rabies).
But here is something interesting:
The feline coronavirus is nearly 100% fatal.
And Marek’s disease in Chickens is extremely dangerous to unvaccinated chickens - only because they used a leaky vaccine decades ago.
Putting the two together, at the beginning of the vaccine push I remember thinking “are they trying to recreate a Marek’s disease situation with covid?” Proof of concept is there.
