RESULTS: One hundred twenty nasal samples were collected from white-tailed deer, moose, grey wolves and black bears monitored for conservation efforts during 2022-2023. Samples were tested for viral RNA by RT-qPCR using the CDC N1/N2 primer set. Our data indicate that no wildlife samples were positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA.
CONCLUSIONS: Continued surveillance is therefore crucial to better understand the changing landscape of zoonotic SARS-CoV-2 in the Upper Midwest.
结果:收集了白尾鹿的120个鼻部样本,驼鹿,灰狼和黑熊在2022-2023年期间被监测保护工作。使用CDCN1/N2引物组通过RT-qPCR测试样品的病毒RNA。我们的数据表明,没有野生动物样本对SARS-CoV-2RNA呈阳性。
结论:因此,持续监测对于更好地了解中西部上地区人畜共患SARS-CoV-2的变化情况至关重要。
