Startling Discovery Suggests 40% of Wild Deer in The US Have Had The Coronavirus
4 AUGUST 2021
The novel coronavirus appears to have somehow jumped from humans to wild deer in some parts of the United States.
In the northeast of the nation, a recent federal survey found neutralizing antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 in 40 percent of all white-tailed deer (
Odocoileus virginianus) that were sampled.
In the state of Michigan alone, 67 percent of free-ranging deer showed immune markers for the coronavirus in their bloodwork.
It s the first evidence of widespread exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in wild animals, and while the preprint study still needs to be verified and peer-reviewed, the findings are cause for concern.
