    White-tailed deer in Ohio first in the world to test positive for COVID

    Wild white-tailed Ohio deer are the first in the world to be found infected with COVID, according to the USDA’s National Veterinary Services Laboratories.




    “These are the first deer confirmed with the SARS-CoV-2 virus worldwide, although earlier studies have shown both that deer can be experimentally infected with the virus and that some wild deer had antibodies to the virus,” the USDA said in a news release.


    Bowman says the finding is not surprising because white-tailed deer are more susceptible to the virus. Previous studies have shown that white-tailed deer have the protein receptors that allow the virus to enter susceptible cells, are susceptible when experimentally inoculated,” Bowman said. “Some wild white-tailed deer have antibodies to the virus.”

    Oh, dear!

    I see deer on my morning walks, now I'll steer clear.

    I hate those things. They always seem to seek me out and that's a painful bite!

    Actually, I have to wonder why blood to blood bite transmissions of COVID are never discussed. Especially with the spring/early summer season being the most active for biting insect, dependant on location.
