SARS-CoV-2 originally arose as a spill over from animals into humans and in the two years since then multiple new animal species have contracted the virus from humans, including the current large scale outbreak in white tailed deer in the USA. This talk will summarise what is known about SARs-CoV-2 in animals, including work from our current research project on UK wildlife and will discuss what is likely to happen going forward.
