SARS-CoV-2 continues to transmit and evolve in humans and animals. White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) have been previously identified as a zoonotic reservoir for SARS-CoV-2 with high rates of infection and probable spillback into humans. Here we report sampling 1,127 white-tailed deer (WTD) in Pennsylvania, and a genomic analysis of viral dynamics spanning 1,017 days between April 2021 and January 2024.

Inclusion criteria were diagnosis of DM by the attending veterinarian and submission of a completed questionnaire besides blood samples.
Background: Cardiac computed tomography imaging with contrast is being used increasingly to image left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices. Contrast flow across a device, also known as a transfabric leak (TFL), may indicate a lack of complete LAAO-device endothelialization. The data on the rate, predictors, and clinical events associated with TFL are limited.
