Abstract
Spillover of SARS-CoV-2 to North American white tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus) has been documented. We evaluated pre and pandemic exposure of German and Austrian deer species using a SARS-CoV-2 pseudoneutralization assay. In stark contrast to North American white tailed deer, we found no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 exposure.
Article Summary Line
Using a sensitive serological assay, 433 pre and pandemic deer samples from Germany and Austria tested negative for SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies highlighting a major difference between central European and North American deer exposure and in their epidemiologic roles.
