Epidemiological modeling of SARS-CoV-2 in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) reveals conditions for introduction and widespread transmission

Objectives that focused on specific captive or wild scenarios had no deer-deer fence line transmissions, preventing transmission between captive or wild populations. Objective 5 focused on how fence line transmission in captive-wild systems influence outbreak dynamics on both sides of the fence.
