Phylogenetic context of SARS-CoV-2 from captive white-tailed deer in study of respiratory shedding of infectious SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XBB 1.41.1 lineage, Texas, USA, November 2023. Genome sequences from deer were compared in the main phylogenetic tree with genomes representative of the main virus Nexstrain clades as assigned by UShER (https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgPhyloPlace) (28). The secondary tree at right details the 22F (XBB) clade and displays the placement of genomes obtained in our study (highlighted clade; O indicates oral/nasal swab, R indicates rectal swab) in relation to 10 of the most closely related samples deposited in GISAID (https://www.gisaid.org) as of August 14, 2024.
