Epidemiological modeling of SARS-CoV-2 in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) reveals conditions for introduction and widespread transmission
Fig 3
Variation in Force-Of-Infection from humans-to-deer (FOI), probability of at least 1 human-to-deer (HtD) transmission, and basic reproductive numbers (R0) across the four scenarios considered in this study.
Human Force-Of-Infection is log10 transformed and presented as odds of HtD transmission per deer, per day. The basic reproductive number threshold between unsustained and sustained transmission from deer-to-deer is indicated with a horizontal line (R0 = 1). Box plots depict the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum, with outliers depicted as single points.
