    Humans have infected a wide range of animals with SARS-CoV-21,2,3,4,5,
    but the establishment of a new natural animal reservoir has not been
    observed. Here we document that free-ranging white-tailed deer
    (Odocoileus virginianus) are highly susceptible to infection with
    SARS-CoV-2, are exposed to multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants from humans
    and are capable of sustaining transmission in nature. Using real-time
    PCR with reverse transcription, we detected SARS-CoV-2 in more than
    one-third (129 out of 360, 35.8%) of nasal swabs obtained from O.
    virginianus in northeast Ohio in the USA during January to March 2021.
    Deer in six locations were infected with three SARS-CoV-2 lineages
    (B.1.2, B.1.582 and B.1.596). The B.1.2 viruses, dominant in humans in
    Ohio at the time, infected deer in four locations. We detected
    probable deer-to-deer transmission of B.1.2, B.1.582 and B.1.596
    viruses, enabling the virus to acquire amino acid substitutions in the
    spike protein (including the receptor-binding domain) and ORF1 that
    are observed infrequently in humans. No spillback to humans was
    observed, but these findings demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 viruses have
    been transmitted in wildlife in the USA, potentially opening new
    pathways for evolution. There is an urgent need to establish
    comprehensive ‘One Health’ programmes to monitor the environment, deer
    and other wildlife hosts globally.

    "Spillback to humans," though not yet observed, is inevitable because
    deer are hunted & eaten by humans here in the USA.
