Quick Glance: USDA directive mandates bird flu testing for dairy cows in interstate transport
- A new federal directive from the USDA states that dairy cows transported across state lines must be tested for bird flu.
- Following the discovery of bird flu virus fragments in pasteurized milk, the FDA initiated a survey of commercially sold milk.
- The presence of the virus in the commercial milk supply indicates previous measures were insufficient in controlling its spread.
- In addition to testing dairy cows before transport, the Wednesday's order mandates state veterinary labs to report positive tests to federal health authorities.

Coronavirus Spread Widely in Deer, and Perhaps Back to People, U.S.D.A. Says: From late 2021 to early 2022, humans transmitted the coronavirus to white-tailed ...
nytimes.com/2023/07/11/health/coronavirus-deer-zoonotic.html
Quick Glance: Coronavirus Spreads Widely in Deer, Potentially Back to Humans, U.S.D.A. Reports
- According to new research led by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the coronavirus was transmitted from humans to white-tailed deer over 100 times in late 2021 and early 2022.
- The research also suggests that the virus likely spread widely among deer, mutated within the animals, and may have been passed back to humans at least three times.
- The findings, some of which were published in the journal Nature Communications, raise concerns about deer becoming a long-term animal reservoir for the virus and a potential source of new variants.
- Scientists collected over 11,000 samples from deer in 26 states and Washington, D.C.

Quick Glance: Study: SARS-CoV-2 potentially transmitted from deer to humans multiple times
- Researchers have found that a mutated form of coronavirus carried by deer may have been transmitted to humans.
- In some cases, the infection may have mutated and been transmitted back to humans.
- The role of white-tailed deer as a host or "reservoir species", where the virus can survive and potentially change, is still under investigation.
- Experts have not found evidence that animals play a significant role in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to humans.
