White-tailed deer milk exhibits SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies and synergistic mechanisms that contribute to rapid viral RNA degradation
2026-02-12
Abstract excerpt
White-tailed deer (WTD) represent the most significant SARS-CoV-2 wildlife reservoir in North America, yet the role of antiviral mechanisms in vertical transmission remains unexplored. We investigated SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses and viral stability in milk from lactating WTD and humans to characterize species-specific antiviral mechanisms. SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies were detected in milk and serum in WTD...
