Abstract

Influenza D virus (IDV) infections have been identified worldwide in cattle, swine, camelid, and small ruminants, mostly in domestic livestock. Here we report that the wild white-tailed deer in North America were exposed to IDVs, suggesting IDVs infect a wide range of hosts including wild animal populations.

Keywords: Hemagglutination inhibition; Influenza D virus; Influenza virus; Seroprevalence; White-tailed deer.
