It's noteworthy that when ACE2 in white‐tailed deer was reported to exhibit high binding scores to SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein,47 subsequent serology surveillance in wild individuals and laboratory infection experiments further supported this species as a permissive host of SARS‐CoV‐2,53, 54 extending our understanding of SARS‐CoV‐2 behaviour in the real‐world. This evidence concerns the gene ACE2 and infection.
