Covid Ping-Pong: Human To Deer, Deer To Human
Here we describe a recent paper by Pickering et al. that describes a series of SARS-CoV-2 sequences originating in white-tailed deer highly divergent from previous variants, with as many as 76 consensus nucleotide mutations from the original Wuhan virus.

Possible case of deer-to human Covid infection identified in Canada
Researchers say it is unlikely that the variant found in deer could bypass vaccines, but urge better monitoring of Covid in animalsCanadian researchers believe they have found the first-ever instance of a deer passing the coronavirus to a human, warning that broader surveillance of wildlife is needed to prevent further mutations from developing and spreading undetected.In apaper published last week, but not yet peer reviewed, scientists say at least one case of Covid-19 in humans can be traced to a strain of the virus found in hunted deer.Continue reading...

Nearly Half of U.S. Bald Eagles Suffer From Lead Poisoning
WASHINGTON—America’s national bird is more beleaguered than previously believed, with nearly half of bald eagles tested across the U.S. showing signs of chronic lead exposure, according to a study published Thursday. While the bald eagle population has rebounded from the brink of extinction since the U.S. banned the pesticide DDT in 1972, harmful levels of toxic lead were found in the bones of 46% of bald eagles sampled in 38 states from California to Florida, researchers reported in the journal Science. Similar rates of lead exposure were found in golden eagles, which scientists say means the raptors likely co...

How serious is the presence of the Covid virus in deer for humans?
Scientists think surveillance is urgent as deer could act as large reservoirs for the virus, and serve as a source for new variantsMichael Tonkovich spent the week after Thanksgiving at deer processors around Ohio, swabbing the carcasses to test for Sars-CoV-2, the virus that can cause Covid-19.When he explained his goal to hunters, a common reaction was: help yourself. And perhaps you can butcher it too, they joked.Continue reading...

Should You Wear a Mask? What to Do as Mandates Roll Back
Now is a confusing time in the pandemic. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are getting infected every day, and 3,000 or so are dying. Earlier in the pandemic, numbers this high would have triggered mask mandates and business closures. Today, in the face of these grim stats, states are instead relaxing their pandemic protocols. That’s partly because even as so many Americans are dying, even more Americans are dying to get back to normal. States including New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Nevada recently announced that they are dropping mask mandates in some form, ...

Omicron Has Been Found in Deer —That Should Worry Us
There are more than 30 million white-tailed deer in the U.S. That’s a boon for hunters, a headache for gardeners, a hazard for drivers—and now, it appears, a possible problem in the world’s ongoing effort to control the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a new study (which has not yet been peer-reviewed) published on bioRxiv, researchers at Penn State University found that several white-tailed deer captured and tested on Staten Island in New York were infected with the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. It is the first such discovery in non-human animals. COVID-19 has been found before in deer. In 2020 and 2021,...
