Digital Desk: The surge of the Covid-19 pandemic has created a threat among people all across the globe. This virus has infected millions of people through different variants like Delta, Nov-Cov, and Omicron.
The virus has infected almost everyone for two years, no matter how strong immunity one holds. Due to this infection, many casualties have been reported all over the world.
Notably, its not just the humans infected with the virus. Instead, cases have been detected where animals were also infected with the Covid-19 variants. Moreover, in a recent study, a new development has concerned the physicians and specialists in the United States. There is a discovery of coronavirus in Iowa's white-tailed deer.
According to the reports of health specialists, there are 30 million of these animals, and they often come in contact with humans.
In a statement released by the New York times, it has been stated that when the scientists filtered through frozen samples of the
deer killed by hunters or cars in 2020, they discovered 60 % of them contaminated with the coronavirus.
A microbiologist and infectious disease expert at the Pennsylvania State University, Vivek Kapur, stated that it was stunning to detect such cases.
He even said that his team has analyzed samples from 4,000 dead deer and observed the location of each infected animal on a map. "It's outraged. It looks like it's everywhere."
"This is a top concern right now for the United States," Dr. Casey Barton Behravesh directs the One Health Office at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The United States notified its first case of Covid-19 in a deer in August 2021, even though this new finding has resumed worries concerning a new surge of infection thought to be transferred from animals.
Scientists have ever worried about the reach of the illness from animals to humans, though they have pursued more analyses before reaching any conclusion.
According to CDC, the chance of animals spreading Sars-CoV-2, the virus that drives Covid-19, to individuals is ignoble. However, it also stated that some coronaviruses that contaminate animals could be spread to individuals and then circulated between individuals, infrequent.
