Paired nasopharyngeal swabs blood samples collected analyzed presence RNA antibodies. Of 135 serum samples, 19 (14.1%) indicated exposure, 11 reacted most strongly to wild-type B.1 lineage. 71 swabs, 8 positive (4 4 Delta). Two animals had active infections robust neutralizing antibodies, revealing reinfection or early seroconversion in deer.

There has been considerable emphasis recently on the zoonotic origins of emerging infectious diseases in humans, including SARS-CoV-2 pandemic; however, reverse zoonoses (infections transmitted from humans to other animals) have received less attention despite their potential importance. The effects can be devastating for infected species and also result transmission pathogen back human populations or animals either original form as a variant. Humans animals, virus is able circulate evolve those species. As global travel resumes, zoonosis threatens endangered Nonhuman primates are particular concern given susceptibility respiratory infections.

White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) have high value for research, conservation, agriculture, and recreation might be key SARS-CoV-2 reservoirs. In November 2023, we sampled 15 female in a captive facility Texas, USA. All had neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2; respiratory swab samples from 11 were SARS-CoV-2-positive by quantitative reverse transcription PCR, 1 also positive rectal sample. Six of the yielded infectious virus; replication kinetics most displayed lower growth 24-48 hours postinfection vitro than Omicron lineages isolated humans Texas same period. Virus was similar between groups 72 hours, suggesting no strong attenuation deer-derived virus. viruses clustered XBB clade demonstrated more mutations expected compared with contemporaneous humans, that crossing species barrier accompanied substitution rate.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to pose a significant threat public health. Notably, SARS-CoV-2 demonstrates the capacity infect various non-human animal species, including both captive and free-living animals. Earlier experimental studies revealed low susceptibility of domestic cattle (Bos taurus) ancestral B.1 lineage; however, recent findings indicate greater permissiveness Delta variant. While some detected evidence infection in Italy, Germany, India, Nigeria, currently, there is no infections US cattle. We have investigated over 600 samples, pre-pandemic pandemic sera collected from Pennsylvania for presence antibodies. Since serological tests inherent problems false positives negatives, we conducted comprehensive assessment multiple assays. As are known positive serum used hyperimmune raised with SARS-CoV-2-spike receptor binding domain (RBD) as control test validation. found that pseudovirus neutralization assays luciferase reporter system can produce results, care must be taken interpret diagnosis using these natural or transmission among US.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SC2) infection was confirmed in various animal species demonstrating a wide host range of virus. Prior studies have shown that ACE2 protein is primary receptor used by virus to gain cellular entry and begin replication cycle. In previous studies, we demonstrated human bat proteins can be utilized SC2 viruses for entry. Bats are suspected natural because genetic homology with other coronaviruses. this work, demonstrate expression genes from common vampire (CVB) (Desmodus rotundus) pallid (PB) (Antrozous pallidus), supports some cell culture. Two lines were produced, CVB-ACE2 PB-ACE2, expressing these along TMPRSS2, model previously established using non-permissive chicken DF-1 line. Results original Wuhan lineage (WA1) Delta variant able infect replicate either lines. contrast, Lambda Omicron infected both lines, but viral titers did not increase following infection. Viral detection immunofluorescence abundant spike (S) staining WA1 variants little signal variants. These while CVB PB infection, later (Lambda Omicron) poorly observations suggest more efficient adaption become less fit species.

A zoonotic spillover event from animal to human was identified as the presumed origin. Subsequently, reports began emerging regarding spillback events resulting SARS-CoV-2 infections multiple species. These highlighted critical links between health while also raising concerns about development of new reservoir hosts potential viral mutations that could alter virulence transmission or evade immune responses. Characterizing susceptibility, prevalence, species became priority help protect health.
