Accelerated evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in free-ranging white-tailed deer

Nature Communications, 2023
The zoonotic origin of the COVID-19 pandemic virus highlights the need to fill the vast gaps in our knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 ecology and evolution in non-human hosts. Here, we detected that SARS-CoV-2 was introduced from humans into white-tailed deer more

Differences in dietary niche and foraging behavior of sympatric mule and white‐tailed deer

Ecosphere, 2019
Mule (Odocoileus hemionus) and white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are congeneric and share similar life histories, yet their distribution is segregated across much of North America. Extensive research on both species within and outside their zone

High Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) at One of Three Captive Cervid Facilities in Texas

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) across the United States are increasingly recognized for infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Captive white‐tailed deer industry—Current status and growing threat

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016
In 2012, 10 states in the United States debated legislation to introduce or expand captive white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) breeding operations.

Multiple spillovers from humans and onward transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in white-tailed deer

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022
Significance The results provide strong evidence of extensive SARS-CoV-2 infection of white-tailed deer, a free-living wild animal species with widespread distribution across North, Central, and South America.

SARS-CoV-2 exposure in wild white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Widespread human SARS-CoV-2 infections combined with human–wildlife interactions create the potential for reverse zoonosis from humans to wildlife. We targeted white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) for serosurveillance based on evidence these deer ...

Highly divergent white-tailed deer SARS-CoV-2 with potential deer-to-human transmission

bioRxiv, 2022
Wildlife reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2 may enable viral adaptation and spillback from animals to humans. In North America, there is evidence of unsustained spillover of SARS-CoV-2 from humans to white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), but no evidence of ...

Transmission of Raccoon-Passaged Chronic Wasting Disease Agent to White-Tailed Deer

Viruses, 2022
The transmission characteristics of prion diseases are influenced by host prion protein sequence and, therefore, the host species. Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease of cervids, has widespread geographical distribution throughout North ...

Multiple Introductions of SARS-CoV-2 Alpha and Delta Variants into White-Tailed Deer in Pennsylvania

mBio, 2022
Coronaviruses have been documented to replicate in numerous species of vertebrates, and multiple spillovers of coronaviruses from animals into humans have founded human epidemics.
