A third of #US #deer have had #COVID—and they then infected humans at least 3 times. People in the US transmitted the pandemic #coronavirus to white-tailed deer at least 109 times! New study builds on data suggesting #whitetaileddeer could be a #virus reservoir. Researchers surveyed over 11,000 white-tailed deer from 26 states and DC. Of those, 31.6% had antibodies indicating a previous infection with #SARSCoV2, and 12.2% had detectable SARS-CoV-2 virus. https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/07/a-third-of-us-deer-have-had-covid-and-they-infected-humans-at-least-3-times/
