Abstract
Broad-scale data show SARS-CoV-2 occurrence in white-tailed deer throughout much of their range in the conterminous United States and reinforce findings of considerable SARS-CoV-2 infection and exposure. Results shed light on both current infections and prior exposure, with prevalence decreasing over time and seroprevalence increasing. One-Sentence SummaryWhite-tailed deer are infected with, and have been exposed to, SARS-CoV-2 throughout their range in the conterminous US.
- organism: multiple species
- assay: metagenomics
