Identifies bovine-like coronavirus in white-tailed deer; extends known host range but leaves open spillover risks.
Bovine coronavirus within the Embecovirus subgenus causes respiratory and enteric diseases in domestic cattle. We report a coding-complete genome of bovine-like coronavirus from a white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) in New Jersey, USA. This genome is 30,988 bp with a guanine-cytosine content of 37%.
