Possible deer-to human COVID-19 transmission reported by Canadian researchers
Fox News
Researchers in Canada believe they have found the "first evidence" of a deer passing the SARS-CoV-2 virus to a human.
"This lineage has 76 consensus mutations including 37 previously associated with non-human animal hosts, 23 of which were not previously reported in deer. There were also mutational signatures of host adaptation under neutral selection. Phylogenetic analysis revealed an epidemiologically linked human case from the same geographic region and sampling period," the group said. "Together, our findings represent the first evidence of a highly divergent lineage of SARS-CoV-2 in white-tailed deer and of deer-to-human transmission."
