Our new study found white tailed deer full of infectious SARS-Cov-2 virus, much evidence of transmission and many spillover events - just in Iowa nytimes.com/2021/11/02/sci…

Kurt Vandegrift, Suresh Kuchipudi & our team found high levels of Covid infection in white tailed deer and that could act as a potential reservoir for humans nytimes.com/2022/02/07/hea…

White-tailed deer in New York have been found carrying the highly transmissible Omicron variant. The results are likely to intensify concerns that deer could become a reservoir for the virus and a potential source of new variants. nyti.ms/3JbHIG1

Our White-tailed deer team have found Omicron in 14% of deer on Staten Island, evidence they may become reinfected after Delta and it is primarily in yearlings who move about a great deal nytimes.com/2022/02/07/hea…

Looking to hire multiple postdocs: 1) Modeling a transmissible vaccine currently being used to control a chicken virus, 2) Experiments in a new model system (a nematode virus) to understand drivers of host jumps. I'll be at EEID the next few days, but also available by DM/email

3) If you are a tourist exploring NYC attractions #WhatsGoodNYC—sorry, no recommendations for a K.p. tour... (Iliev Lab can’t help, but Thrillist New York might). 4) If you are a #scientist , check your laboratory mice for K.p (Iliev Lab can help)- its alters research outcomes.
