The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) recently completed a study that analyzed serum samples from
free-ranging white-tailed deer for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that
causes COVID-19). Results of the study indicate that certain white-tailed
deer populations in Illinois, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania were
exposed to SARS-CoV-2.
Samples were obtained opportunistically as part of wildlife damage
management activities conducted by APHIS Wildlife Services across 32
counties in the 4 states. These samples were tested at APHIS’ National
Wildlife Research Center and National Veterinary Services Laboratories.
Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were detected in 33% of the 481 samples collected
from January 2020 through 2021. None of the deer populations surveyed showed
signs of clinical illness associated with SARS-CoV-2.
It is important to note that this surveillance was designed to determine
exposure of deer to SARS-CoV-2 in their natural environment. It was not
designed to determine whether the deer were replicating and shedding SARS-
CoV-2.
APHIS supports a One Health approach to addressing animal diseases,
including SARS-CoV-2. Widespread human infections with SARS-CoV-2 combined
with human-wildlife interactions create the potential for spillover between
people and animals. Studying the susceptibility of certain mammals, such as
deer, to SARS-CoV-2 helps to identify species that may serve as reservoirs
or hosts for the virus, as well as understand the origin of the virus, and
predict its impacts on wildlife and the risks of cross-species transmission.
The finding that wild white-tailed deer have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 is
not unexpected given that white-tailed deer are susceptible to the virus,
are abundant in the United States, often come into close contact with people
, and that, more than 114 million Americans are estimated to have been
infected with COVID-19, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
APHIS is working closely with federal and state partners, including the
Department of the Interior, the CDC, and the Association of Fish and
Wildlife Agencies, to determine next steps. Results from this surveillance
effort are currently being prepared for publication in a peer-review journal.
APHIS is a multi-faceted agency with a broad mission that includes
protecting and promoting U.S. agricultural health, regulating genetically
engineered organisms, administering the Animal Welfare Act, and carrying out
wildlife damage management activities.

鹿不是人类的宠物，很少和人接近到10米以内
如果这样都能传上，那公园散步也很难防止病毒传播 | b*****l

鹿是吃草的，ACE2不高，不是Covid-19易感群体。 |
